Section V-2607 - Disposal of CAMU-Eligible Wastes in Permitted Hazardous Waste Landfills

A. The administrative authority with regulatory oversight at the location where the cleanup is taking place may approve placement of CAMU-eligible wastes in hazardous waste landfills not located at the site from which the waste originated, without the wastes meeting the requirements of LAC 33:V.Chapter 22, if the conditions in Paragraphs A.1-3 of this Section are met.

1. The waste must meet the definition of CAMU-eligible waste in LAC 33:V.2603.A.1.

2. The administrative authority with regulatory oversight at the location where the cleanup is taking place shall identify principal hazardous constituents in such waste, in accordance with LAC 33:V.2603.E.4.a and b, and require that such principal hazardous constituents are treated to any of the following standards specified for CAMU-eligible wastes:

a. the treatment standards under LAC 33:V.2603.E.4.d;

b. treatment standards adjusted in accordance with LAC 33:V.2603.E.4.e.i, iii, iv, or v.(a); or

c. treatment standards adjusted in accordance with LAC 33:V.2603.E.4.e.v.(b) when treatment has been used and that treatment significantly reduces the toxicity or mobility of the principal hazardous constituents in the waste, minimizing the short-term and long-term threat posed by the waste, including the threat at the remediation site.

3. The landfill receiving the CAMU-eligible waste must have a RCRA hazardous waste permit, meet the requirements for new landfills in LAC 33:V.Chapter 25, and be authorized to accept CAMU-eligible wastes. For the purposes of this requirement, permit does not include interim status.

B. The person seeking approval shall provide sufficient information to enable the administrative authority with regulatory oversight at the location where the cleanup is taking place to approve placement of CAMU-eligible waste in accordance with Subsection A of this Section. Information required by LAC 33:V.2603.D.1-3 for CAMU applications must be provided, unless it is not reasonably available.

C. The administrative authority with regulatory oversight at the location where the cleanup is taking place shall provide public notice and a reasonable opportunity for public comment before approving CAMU-eligible waste for placement in an off-site permitted hazardous waste landfill, consistent with the requirements for CAMU approval at LAC 33:V.2603.H. The approval must be specific to a single remediation.

D. Applicable hazardous waste management requirements in LAC 33:V. Chapters 5, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 32, and 35, including recordkeeping requirements to demonstrate compliance with treatment standards approved under this Section, for CAMU-eligible waste must be incorporated into the receiving facility permit through permit issuance or a permit modification, providing notice and an opportunity for comment and a hearing. Notwithstanding LAC 33:V.307.A, a landfill may not receive hazardous CAMU-eligible waste under this Section unless its permit specifically authorizes receipt of such waste.

E. For each remediation, CAMU-eligible waste may not be placed in an off-site landfill authorized to receive CAMU-eligible waste in accordance with Subsection D of this Section until the following additional conditions have been met.

1. The landfill owner/operator shall notify the administrative authority responsible for oversight of the landfill and persons on the facility mailing list, maintained in accordance with LAC 33:V.717.A.1.e, of his or her intent to receive CAMU-eligible waste in accordance with this Section. The notice must identify the source of the remediation waste, the principal hazardous constituents in the waste, and treatment requirements.

2. Any comments from persons on the facility mailing list, including objections to the receipt of the CAMU-eligible waste, shall be provided to the administrative authority within 15 days of notification.

3. The administrative authority shall have the opportunity to object to the placement of the CAMU-eligible waste in the landfill for a period of 30 days after notification. The administrative authority may extend the review period an additional 30 days because of public concerns or insufficient information.

4. CAMU-eligible wastes shall not be placed in the landfill until the administrative authority has notified the facility owner/operator that he or she does not object to its placement.

5. If the administrative authority objects to the placement or does not notify the facility owner/operator that he or she has chosen not to object, the facility shall not receive the waste, notwithstanding LAC 33:V.307.A, until the objection has been resolved or the owner/operator obtains a permit modification in accordance with the procedures of LAC 33:V.321.C specifically authorizing receipt of the waste.

6. As part of the permit issuance or permit modification process of Paragraph D of this Section, the administrative authority may modify, reduce, or eliminate the notification requirements of this Subsection as they apply to specific categories of CAMU-eligible waste, based on minimal risk.

F. Generators of CAMU-eligible wastes sent off-site to a hazardous waste landfill under this Section must comply with the requirements of LAC 33:V.2245.D. Off-site facilities treating CAMU-eligible wastes to comply with this Section must comply with the requirements of LAC 33:V.2247.C, except that the certification must be with respect to the treatment requirements of Paragraph A.2 of this Section.

G. For the purposes of this Section only, the design of the CAMU in LAC 33:V.2603.E.4.e.v means design of the permitted RCRA Subtitle C landfill.
