La. Admin. Code tit. 33, § V-10109 - Inventory Reporting
A. All
substances listed on the list of "Extremely Hazardous Substances" as found in
40 CFR, Part 355, Appendix A, now in effect or amended hereafter, must be
reported for the prior calendar year beginning January 1 and ending December
31, on an inventory form by March 1, 1988, and annually thereafter, if the
material is present on site on any single day in amounts of 500 pounds or more
or the listed threshold quantity if lower than 500 pounds. The threshold
(inventory) quantity (TQ) for each of these materials is indicated (in pounds)
in the column to the right of the material marked "Threshold Inventory Quantity
(TQ)." Where a material shows a threshold (inventory) quantity (TQ) listed as
10/500 or 100/500 etc., it is reportable as follows: The lower number is the
reportable amount if the material is a solid existing in powdered form and has
a particle size less than 100 microns; or is handled in solution or in molten
form; or meets the criteria for a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
rating of 2, 3, or 4 for reactivity. If the solid does not meet any of these
criteria, it is subject to the higher inventory reporting threshold.
B. Any material for which a facility must
prepare or maintain a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) under the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (as
listed in
29 CFR
1910.1200 et seq.) must be reported, for the
prior calendar year beginning January 1 and ending December 31, on an inventory
form annually beginning March 1, 1988, if the material is present at a facility
in threshold (inventory) quantities (TQ) of 500 pounds or more on any single
day.
C. The materials regulated by
Subsection B above of these rules are also regulated under the inventory
reporting provision of Section 312 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act. Incorporated in the federal reporting provisions was an
initial temporary threshold for reporting quantities of these materials such
that for 1987, 1988 and 1989 inventory quantities which met or exceeded 10,000
pounds were reportable. In 1990, EPA published its final threshold regulations
setting the final threshold (inventory) quantity for 1990 and beyond at 10,000
pounds. In this area, the Louisiana law and federal law differ. The state
requires reporting of all regulated materials at the 500-pound level unless the
threshold quantity for an extremely hazardous substance is lower.
D. Mixtures without their own Chemical
Abstract Service (CAS) numbers will be reported as follows: The mixture trade
name or common name shall be listed with the hazardous component(s) which
requires its reporting on the Tier Two inventory report. The component(s)
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number, if available, will also be provided in
association with the hazardous component. Any component information withheld in
contradiction to the most current OSHA MSDS requirements or U.S. EPA's trade
secret claim process shall be subject to enforcement and civil liability
actions at the state and federal level. If a hazardous material is part of a
mixture, you should report the entire mixture, its total weight, and the
hazardous material(s) contained therein, with its percentage present in the
mixture, (e.g., if a hazardous solution weighs 100 pounds and is composed of
only 5 percent of a particular hazardous material, you should indicate 100
pounds of the mixture, identify the hazardous material and indicate that it is
5 percent of the mixture).
