D. The administrative authority may replace all or part of the requirements of this Chapter applying to a regulated unit with alternative requirements for financial assurance set out in the permit or in an enforceable document (as defined in LAC 33:V.305.H), where the administrative authority: 1. prescribes alternative requirements for the regulated unit under LAC 33:V.3301.G and/or 3501.D; and 2. determines that it is not necessary to apply the requirements of this Chapter because the alternative financial assurance requirements will protect human health and the environment.
