Section V-1011 - Satellite Accumulation Area Regulations for Small Quantity Generators and Large Quantity Generators

A. A generator may accumulate as much as 55 gallons of nonacute hazardous waste and/or either one quart of liquid acute hazardous waste listed in LAC 33:V.4901.B or E, or 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of solid acute hazardous waste listed in LAC 33:V.4901.B or E in containers at or near any point of generation where waste initially accumulate which is under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste, without a permit or interim status and without complying with the requirements of LAC 33:V.Subpart 1, provided that all of the conditions for exemption in this Section are met. A generator may comply with the conditions for exemption in this Section instead of complying with the conditions for exemption in LAC 33:V.1013.C. or 1015.B, except as required in Paragraphs A. 7 and 8 of this Section. The conditions for exemption for satellite accumulation are included in Paragraphs 1 -8 below.

1. If a container holding hazardous waste is not in good condition, or if it begins to leak, the generator shall immediately transfer the hazardous waste from this container to a container that is in good condition and does not leak, or immediately transfer and manage the waste in a central accumulation area operated in compliance with LAC 33:V.1013.Cor 1015.B.

2. The generator shall use a container made of or lined with materials that will not react with, and are otherwise compatible with, the hazardous waste to be accumulated, so that the ability of the container to contain the waste is not impaired.

3. Special Standards for Incompatible Wastes

a. Incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials (see LAC 33:V.199.Appendix B for examples), shall not be placed in the same container, unless the generator complies with LAC 33:V.1517.B.

b. Hazardous waste shall not be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an incompatible waste or material, unless the generator complies with LAC 33:V.1517.B.

c. A container holding a hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other material accumulated nearby in other containers shall be separated from the other materials or protected from them by any practical means.

4. A container holding hazardous waste shall be closed at all times during accumulation, except:

a. when adding, removing, or consolidating waste; or

b. when temporary venting of a container is necessary:

i. for the proper operation of equipment; or

ii. to prevent dangerous situations, such as buildup of extreme pressure.

5. A generator shall mark or label its container with:

a. the words "Hazardous Waste"; and

b. an indication of the hazards of the contents (examples include, but are not limited to, the applicable hazardous waste characteristic(s) (i.e., ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic); hazard communication consistent with the U.S. Department of Transportation requirements at 49 CFR part 172 subpart E (labeling) or subpart F (placarding); a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard at 29 CFR 1910.1200; or a chemical hazard label consistent with the National Fire Protection Association Code 704).

6. A generator who accumulates either acute hazardous waste listed in LAC 33:V.4901.B or E or nonacute hazardous waste in excess of the amounts listed in Subsection A of this Section at or near any point of generation shall do the following:

a. comply within three consecutive calendar days with the applicable central accumulation area regulations in LAC 33:V.1013.C or 1015.B, or

b. remove the excess from the satellite accumulation area within three consecutive calendar days to either:

i. a central accumulation area operated in accordance with the applicable regulations in LAC 33:V.1013.C or 1015.B;

ii. an on-site interim status or permitted treatment, storage, or disposal facility, or

iii. an off-site designated facility; and

c. during the three consecutive calendar day period the generator shall continue to comply with Paragraphs A. 1 -5 of this Section. (The generator shall mark or label the container(s) holding the excess accumulation of hazardous waste with the date the excess amount began accumulating.)

7. All satellite accumulation areas operated by a small quantity generator shall meet the preparedness and prevention regulations of LAC 33:V.1013.C8 and emergency procedures regulations of LAC 33:V.1013.C9.

8. All satellite accumulation areas operated by a large quantity generator shall meet the preparedness, prevention and emergency procedures in LAC 33:V.Chapter 10.Subchapter D.
