Section 30:2184 - Commercial hazardous waste recycling and resource recovery facilities; standardsA. Without exception and irrespective of any limiting provision thereof, commercial recycling and resource recovery facilities, including any facility heretofore determined to be a recycling or resource recovery facility, which accept hazardous waste or hazardous waste products for a fee and which as a part of their process subjects hazardous wastes or hazardous waste products to combustion to accomplish recovery or recycling of materials or energy, shall be strictly subject to the provisions of the Louisiana Hazardous Waste Control Law and any rule or regulation adopted thereunder or any permit, license, order, or schedule of compliance required thereunder. The purpose of this Section is to extend the Louisiana Hazardous Waste Control Law to provide specifically for the inclusion of all commercial recycling and resource recovery facilities, including any facility heretofore determined to be a recycling or resource recovery facility, which accept hazardous waste or hazardous waste products for a fee and which as a part of their process subjects hazardous wastes or hazardous waste products to combustion to accomplish recovery or recycling of materials or energy.B. The secretary shall, within one hundred and eighty days of July 19, 1988, amend the rules and regulations promulgated under the Louisiana Hazardous Waste Control Law or any permit, license, order, or schedule of compliance, as necessary, to establish standards for commercial recycling and resource recovery facilities, including any facility heretofore determined to be a recycler or resource recovery facility, which accept hazardous waste or hazardous waste products for a fee and which as a part of their process subjects hazardous wastes or hazardous waste products to combustion to accomplish recovery or recycling of materials or energy. These standards can be no less restrictive than general facility standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, including requirements concerning emergency procedures, waste analysis, manifest of hazardous wastes, inspection procedures, closure, and financial assurance and shall apply irrespective to the purpose of burning, whether for energy recovery, materials recovery, destruction, or some other purpose. Additionally, any rules or regulations promulgated pursuant to this Section shall, at a minimum:(1) Require the development of a detailed trial burn plan by such facilities. The secretary shall designate those Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs) in waste or waste products that are to be accepted by the facilities, are considered the most difficult to destroy, and are present in significant concentrations; and shall specify one or more of these hazardous constituents to be monitored during the trial burn. A trial burn conducted in compliance with this Section and under the supervision of the secretary after July 1, 1988, and which meets all the requirements herein provided shall be deemed in compliance herewith. The following, at a minimum, must be monitored during the trial burn: (a) The exhaust gas must be analyzed for emissions of each POHC and for emissions of oxygen and hydrogen chloride.(b) The destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) must be computed for each POHC.(c) The emission of particulates and carbon monoxide must be quantified.(d) The fugitive emissions from the boiler or furnace must be identified.(2) Require a permit for the operation of the facility which assures, at a minimum, a destruction and removal efficiency of 99.99 percent; and that specifications be set for: (a) Continuous monitoring of combustion temperature.(b) Continuous monitoring of carbon monoxide concentration.(c) Combustion gas velocity.(e) Automatic waste feed cut-off.(3) Define, classify, or otherwise identify those products produced by a facility subject to such rules and regulations which are waste or hazardous waste.(4) Establish requirements for the manifest of any products produced by such facilities or the materials from which such products are processed which are defined, classified, or otherwise identified as hazardous waste pursuant to Paragraph (3); and establish auditing requirements and procedures for the sale of any recycled products or residuals produced by such facilities, including receipts or official state or federal tax documents, as necessary to verify any such transactions.(5) Establish restrictions and standards on the discharge of any wastewaters.Acts 1987, No. 907, §1; Acts 1988, No. 874, §1, eff.
