Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024

Section V-3113 - Hazardous Waste Permits

A. The owner or operator of a hazardous waste incinerator may burn only hazardous wastes specified in his permit and only under operating conditions specified in LAC 33:V.3117 except:

1. in approved trial burns as specified in LAC 33:V.3115; or

2. under exemptions stated in LAC 33:V.3105.B.

B. Other hazardous waste may be burned only after operating conditions have been specified in a new permit or a permit modification as applicable. Operating requirements for new hazardous wastes may be based on either trial burn results or alternate data included in the permit application under LAC 33:V.3115.

C. The permit for a new hazardous waste incinerator must establish appropriate conditions for each of the applicable requirements of this Chapter, including, but not limited to allowable waste feeds and operating conditions necessary to meet the requirements of LAC 33:V.3117, sufficient to comply with the following standards:

1. for the period beginning with the initial introduction of hazardous waste to the incinerator and ending with initiation of the trial burn, and only for the minimum time required to establish operating conditions required in this Part, not to exceed a duration of 720 hours operating time for treatment of hazardous waste, the operating requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the performance standards of LAC 33:V.3111, based on the administrative authority's engineering judgment. The administrative authority may extend the duration of this period once, for up to 720 additional hours, when good cause for the extension is demonstrated by the applicant;

2. for the duration of the trial burn, the operating requirements must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the performance standards of LAC 33:V.3111 and must be in accordance with the approved trial burn plan;

3. for the period immediately following completion of the trial burn, and only for the minimum period sufficient to allow sample analysis, data computation, and submission of the trial burn results by the applicant, and review of the trial burn results and modification of the facility permit by the administrative authority, the operating requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the performance standards of LAC 33:V.3111 based on the administrative authority's judgment; and

4. for the remaining duration of the permit, the operating requirements must be those demonstrated, in a trial burn or by alternative data specified in LAC 33:V.3115 as sufficient to ensure compliance with the performance standards of LAC 33:V.3111.
