LAC 33:V.4377. Applicability

Except as LAC 33:V.4307 provides otherwise: A. LAC 33:V.4379-4387 (which concerns closure) apply to the owners and operators of all hazardous waste management facilities; and B. LAC 33:V.4389-4395 (which concerns post-closure care) apply to the owners and operators of: 1. all hazardous waste disposal facilities; 2. waste piles, and surface impoundments for which the owner or operator intends to remove the wastes at closure to the extent that these sections are made applicable to such facilities in LAC 33:V.4457 and 4475; 3. tank systems that are required under LAC 33:V.4442 to meet the requirements for landfills; and 4. containment buildings that are required under LAC 33:V.4705 to meet the requirements for landfills. C. LAC 33:V.4396 applies to owners and operators of units that are subject to the requirements of LAC 33:V.305.H and are regulated under an enforceable document (as defined in LAC 33:V.305.H). D. The administrative authority may replace all or part of the requirements of this Subchapter (and the unit-specific standards in LAC 33:V.4379.A.3) applying to a regulated unit (as defined in LAC 33:V.3301), with alternative requirements for closure set out in an approved closure or post-closure plan, or in an enforceable document (as defined in LAC 33:V.305.H), where the administrative authority determines that: 1. a regulated unit is situated among solid waste management units (or areas of concern), a release has occurred, and both the regulated unit and one or more solid waste management unit(s) (or areas of concern) are likely to have contributed to the release; and 2. it is not necessary to apply the closure requirements of this Chapter (and/or those referenced herein) because the alternative requirements will protect human health and the environment and will satisfy the closure performance standards of LAC 33:V.4379.A-A.2.
