Section V-2705 - Treatment Program

A. An owner or operator subject to this Chapter must establish a land treatment program that is designed to ensure that hazardous constituents placed in or on the treatment zone are degraded, transformed, or immobilized within the treatment zone. The treatment program must include:

1. the wastes that are capable of being treated at the unit based on a demonstration under LAC 33:V.2707;

2. design measures and operating practices necessary to maximize the success of degradation, transformation, and immobilization processes in the treatment zone in accordance with LAC 33:V.2703.A; and

3. unsaturated zone monitoring provisions meeting the requirements of LAC 33:V.2711.

B. The administrative authority will specify in the facility permit the hazardous constituents that must be degraded, transformed, or immobilized under this Subpart. Hazardous constituents are constituents identified in LAC 33:V.3105, Table 1 that are reasonably expected to be in or derived from waste placed in or on the treatment zone.

COMMENT: The permit application must list the hazardous constituents reasonably expected to be in, or derived from, the wastes to be land treated based on waste analysis performed pursuant to LAC 33:V.1519.

C. The administrative authority will specify the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the treatment zone in the facility permit. The treatment zone is the portion of the unsaturated zone below and including the land surface in which the owner or operator intends to maintain the conditions necessary for effective degradation, transformation, or immobilization of hazardous constituents. The maximum depth of the treatment zone must be:

1. no more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the initial soil surface; and

2. more than 1 meter (3 feet) above the seasonal high water table.

D. The administrative authority will specify in the facility permit the elements of the treatment program.
