La. Admin. Code tit. 33 § V-4211

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

Section V-4211 - How could you lose the conditional exemption for your LLMW and what action must you take?

A. Your LLMW will automatically lose the storage and treatment conditional exemption if you fail to meet any of the conditions specified in LAC 33:V.4207 . When your LLMW loses the exemption, you must immediately manage that waste, which failed the condition as RCRA hazardous waste, and the storage unit storing the LLMW immediately becomes subject to RCRA hazardous waste container and/ or tank storage requirements.

1. If you fail to meet any of the conditions specified in LAC 33:V.4207, you must report to us or the oversight agency in the NRC agreement state, in writing by certified delivery within 30 days of learning of the failure. Your report must be signed by your authorized representative certifying that the information provided is true, accurate, and complete. This report must include:

a. the specific condition(s) you failed to meet;

b. a description of the LLMW (including the waste name, hazardous waste codes, and quantity) and storage location at the facility; and

c. the date(s) on which you failed to meet the condition(s).

2. If the failure to meet any of the conditions may endanger human health or the environment, you must also promptly notify the Office of Environmental Compliance in accordance with LAC 33:I.3923 and submit a written report within five days using the procedures provided in LAC 33:I.3925.B and C. Failures that may endanger human health or the environment include, but are not limited to, discharge of a CERCLA reportable quantity or other leaking or exploding tanks or containers or detection of radionuclides above background or hazardous constituents in the leachate collection system of a storage area. If the failure may endanger human health or the environment, you must follow the provisions of your emergency plan.

B. We may terminate your conditional exemption for your LLMW, or require you to meet additional conditions to claim a conditional exemption, for serious or repeated noncompliance with any requirement(s) of this Chapter.
