Section V-531 - Specific Part II Information Requirements for Land Treatment Facilities

Except as otherwise provided in LAC 33:V.1501, owners and operators of facilities that use land treatment to dispose of hazardous waste must provide the following additional information:

A. a description of plans to conduct a treatment demonstration as required under LAC 33:V.2707. The description must include the following information:

1. the wastes for which the demonstration will be made and the potential hazardous constituents in the waste;

2. the data sources to be used to make the demonstration (e.g., literature, laboratory data, field data, or operating data);

3. any specific laboratory or field test that will be conducted, including:

a. the type of test (e.g., column leaching, degradation);

b. materials and methods, including analytical procedures;

c. expected time for completion;

d. characteristics of the unit that will be simulated in the demonstration, including treatment zone characteristics, climatic conditions, and operating practices;

B. a description of a land treatment program, as required under LAC 33:V.2705. This information must be submitted with the plans for the treatment demonstration, and updated following the treatment demonstration. The land treatment program must address the following items:

1. the wastes to be land treated;

2. design measures and operating practices necessary to maximize treatment in accordance with LAC 33:V.2703.A including:

a. waste application method and rate;

b. measures to control soil pH;

c. enhancement of microbial or chemical reactions;

d. control of moisture content;

3. provisions for unsaturated zone monitoring, including:

a. sampling equipment, procedures, and frequency;

b. procedures for selecting sampling locations;

c. analytical procedures;

d. chain of custody control;

e. procedures for establishing background values;

f. statistical methods for interpreting results;

g. the justification for any hazardous constituents recommended for selection as principal hazardous constituents, in accordance with the criteria for such selection in LAC 33:V.2711.A;

4. a list of 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;

5. the proposed dimensions of the treatment zone;

C. a description of how the unit is or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in order to meet the requirements of LAC 33:V.2303. This submission must address the following items:

1. control of run-on;

2. collection and control of run-off;

3. minimization of run-off of hazardous constituents from the treatment zone;

4. management of collection and holding facilities associated with run-on and run-off control systems;

5. periodic inspection of this unit. (This information should be included in the inspection plan.);

6. control of wind dispersal of particulate matter, if applicable;

D. no food-chain crops are to be grown in or on the treatment zone of the land treatment unit;

E. a description of the vegetative cover to be applied to closed portions of the facility, and a plan for maintaining such cover during the post-closure care period, as required under LAC 33:V.2709.A.8 and C.2. This information should be included in the closure plan and, where applicable, the post-closure plan;

F. if ignitable or reactive wastes will be placed in or on the treatment zone, an explanation of how the requirements of LAC 33:V.2715 will be complied with;

G. if incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials, will be placed in or on the same treatment zone, an explanation of how LAC 33:V.2717 will be complied with;

H. a waste management plan for EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers F020, F021, F022, F023, F026 and F027 describing how a land treatment facility is or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the requirements of LAC 33:V.2723. This submission must address the following items:

1. the volume, physical, and chemical characteristics of the wastes, including their potential to migrate through soil or to volatilize or escape into the atmosphere;

2. the attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils or other materials;

3. the mobilizing properties of other materials codisposed with these wastes; and

4. the effectiveness of additional treatment, design, or monitoring techniques.
