Section V-2230 - Treatment Standards for Hazardous Debris

A. Treatment Standards. Hazardous debris must be treated prior to land disposal unless the administrative authority determines under LAC 33:V.109.Hazardous Waste.6.b that the debris is no longer contaminated with hazardous waste or the debris is treated to the waste-specific treatment standard in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 8 for the waste contaminating the debris.

1. Hazardous debris must be treated for each contaminant subject to treatment defined by LAC 33:V.2230.B using the technology or technologies identified in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 8.

2. Hazardous debris that exhibits the characteristic of ignitablity, corrosivity, or reactivity identified under LAC 33:V.4903.B, C, and D, respectively, must be deactivated by treatment identified in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 8.

3. The treatment standard of LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 8 must be achieved for each type of debris contained in a mixture of debris types. If an immobilization technology is used in a treatment train, it must be the last treatment technology used.

4. Debris that is contaminated with two or more contaminants subject to treatment identified under LAC 33:V.2230.B must be treated for each contaminant using one or more of the treatment technologies identified in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 8. If an immobilization technology is used in a treatment train, it must be the last treatment technology used.

5. Hazardous debris that is also a waste PCB under 40 CFR Part 761 is subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 761 or the requirements of this Section, whichever is more stringent.

B. Hazardous debris must be treated for each "contaminant subject to treatment." The contaminants subject to treatment must be determined as follows:

1. the contaminants subject to treatment for debris that exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) described in LAC 33:V.4903.E are those extraction procedure (EP) constituents for which debris exhibit the TC toxicity characteristic;

2. the contaminants subject to treatment for debris that is contaminated with a prohibited listed hazardous waste are those constituents or wastes for which treatment standards are established under LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 2; and

3. hazardous debris that is reactive because of cyanide must be treated for cyanide.

C. Hazardous debris that has been treated using one of the specified extraction or destruction technologies in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 8 and does not exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste identified under LAC 33:V.4903 after treatment is not a hazardous waste and need not be managed in a Subtitle C facility. Hazardous debris contaminated with a listed waste that is treated by an immobilization technology specified in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 8 is a hazardous waste and must be managed in a Subtitle C facility.

D. Treatment Residues

1. General Requirements

a. Residue from the treatment of hazardous debris must be separated from the treated debris using simple physical or mechanical means; and

b. residue from the treatment of hazardous debris is subject to the waste-specific treatment standards provided by LAC 33:V.Chapter 22.Subchapter B for the waste contaminating the debris.

2. Residue from the deactivation of ignitable, corrosive, or reactive characteristic hazardous debris (other than cyanide-reactive) that is not contaminated with a contaminant subject to treatment defined by LAC 33:V.2230.B must be deactivated prior to land disposal and is not subject to the waste-specific treatment standard of LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 2.

3. Residue from the treatment of debris that is reactive because of cyanide must meet the treatment standards for D003 in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix ,Table 2.

4. Ignitable nonwastewater residue containing equal to or greater than 10 percent total organic carbon is subject to the technology-based standards for D001, ignitable liquids.

5. Layers of debris removed by spalling are hazardous debris that remain subject to the treatment standards of LAC 33:V.2230.
