La. Admin. Code tit. 33 § V-503

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

Section V-503 - Completeness

A. The administrative authority shall not issue a permit before receiving a complete application for a permit except for permits by rule (LAC 33:V.305.D) or emergency permits (LAC 33:V.701). An application for a permit is complete when the administrative authority receives an application form and any supplemental information which are completed to his or her satisfaction. The administrative authority may deny a permit for the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or TSD unit before receiving a complete application for the permit. An application for a permit is complete notwithstanding the failure of the owner or operator to submit the exposure information described in this Section.

1. Any Part II permit application submitted by an owner or operator of a facility that stores, treats, or disposes of hazardous waste in a surface impoundment or a landfill must be accompanied by information, reasonably ascertainable by the owner or operator, on the potential for the public to be exposed to hazardous wastes or hazardous constituents through releases related to the unit. At a minimum, such information must address:

a. reasonably foreseeable potential releases from both normal operations and accidents at the unit, including releases associated with transportation to or from the unit;

b. the potential pathways of human exposure to hazardous wastes or constituents resulting from the releases described under Subparagraph A.1.a of this Section; and

c. the potential magnitude and nature of the human exposure resulting from such releases.

2. By August 8, 1985, owners and operators of a landfill or a surface impoundment who have already submitted a Part II application must submit the exposure information required in Paragraph A.1 of this Section.
