La. Admin. Code tit. 33 § V-3813
Ampule-an airtight vial made of glass, plastic, metal, or any combination of these materials.
Antifreeze-an ethylene glycol based mixture that lowers the freezing point of water and is used as an engine coolant.
Battery-a device consisting of one or more electrically connected electrochemical cells which is designed to receive, store, and deliver electric energy. An electrochemical cell is a system consisting of an anode, cathode, and an electrolyte, plus such connections (electrical and mechanical) as may be needed to allow the cell to deliver or receive electrical energy. The term battery also includes an intact, unbroken battery from which the electrolyte has been removed.
Destination Facility-a facility that treats, disposes of, or recycles a particular category of universal waste, except those management activities described in LAC 33:V.3821.A and C and 3843.A and C. A facility at which a particular category of universal waste is only accumulated, is not a destination facility for purposes of managing that category of universal waste. A facility that shreds, crushes, heats, or otherwise treats electronic devices or any component thereof, shall be considered a destination facility. A facility shall not be considered a destination facility if it engages in the disassembly or demanufacturing of electronics:
1. for the purpose of marketing, reselling, reusing, or recycling the components of the electronic devices; and
2. without treating the electronic devices or any component thereof.
Electronics or Electronic Device-a device or a component thereof that contains one or more circuit boards and is used primarily for data transfer or storage, communication, or entertainment purposes, including but not limited to, desktop and laptop computers, computer peripherals, monitors, copying machines, scanners, printers, radios, televisions, camcorders, video cassette recorders (VCRs), compact disc players, digital video disc players, MP3 players, telephones, including cellular and portable telephones, and stereos.
FIFRA-The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136 - 136 y).
Generator-any person, by site, whose act or process produces hazardous waste identified or listed in LAC 33:V.Chapter 49 or whose act first causes a hazardous waste to become subject to regulation.
Lamp (also referred to as Universal Waste Lamp)-the bulb or tube portion of an electric lighting device. A lamp is specifically designed to produce radiant energy, most often in the ultraviolet, visible, and infra-red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Examples of common universal waste electric lamps include, but are not limited to, fluorescent, high intensity discharge, neon, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and metal halide lamps.
Large Quantity Handler of Universal Waste-a universal waste handler (as defined in this Section) who accumulates 5,000 kilograms or more total of universal waste (batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, lamps, electronics, or antifreeze, calculated collectively) at any time. This designation as a large quantity handler of universal waste is retained through the end of the calendar year in which the 5,000 kilogram-limit is met or exceeded.
Mercury-Containing Equipment-a device or part of a device (including thermostats, but excluding batteries and lamps) that contains elemental mercury integral to its function.
Mercury-Containing Lamp-an electric lamp in which mercury is purposely introduced by the manufacturer for the operation of the lamp.
On-Site- the same or geographically contiguous property which may be divided by public or private right-of-way, provided that the entrance and exit between the properties is at a crossroads intersection, and access is by crossing as opposed to going along the right of way. Noncontiguous properties owned by the same person but connected by a right-of-way which he controls and to which the public does not have access, are also considered on-site property.
Pesticide-any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant, other than any article that:
1. is a new animal drug under FFDCA Section 201(w); or
2. is an animal drug that has been determined by regulation of the secretary of Health and Human Services not to be a new animal drug; or
3. is an animal feed under FFDCA Section 201(x) that bears or contains any substances described by Paragraph 1 or 2 of this Subsection.
Small Quantity Handler of Universal Waste-a universal waste handler (as defined in this Section) who does not accumulate 5,000 kilograms or more total of universal waste (batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, lamps, electronics, or antifreeze, calculated collectively) at any time.
Thermostat-a temperature control device that contains metallic mercury in an ampule attached to a bimetal sensing element, and mercury-containing ampules that have been removed from these temperature control devices in compliance with the requirements of LAC 33:V.3821.C.2 or 3843.C.2.
Universal Waste-any of the following hazardous wastes that are subject to the universal waste requirements of this Chapter:
1. batteries as described in LAC 33:V.3803;
2. pesticides as described in LAC 33:V.3805;
3. mercury-containing equipment as described in LAC 33:V.3807;
4. lamps as described in LAC 33:V.3809;
5. electronics as described in LAC 33:V.3810; and
6. antifreeze as described in LAC 33:V.3811.
Universal Waste Handler-a generator (as defined in this Section) of universal waste; or the owner or operator of a facility, including all contiguous property, that receives universal waste from other universal waste handlers, accumulates universal waste, and sends universal waste to another universal waste handler, to a destination facility, or to a foreign destination. A universal waste handler does not include a person who treats (except under the provisions of LAC 33:V.3821.A or C, or 3843.A or C), disposes of, or recycles universal waste; or a person engaged in the off-site transportation of universal waste by air, rail, highway, or water, including a universal waste transfer facility.
Universal Waste Transfer Facility-any transportation-related facility including loading docks, parking areas, storage areas and other similar areas where shipments of universal waste are held during the normal course of transportation for 10 days or less.
Universal Waste Transporter-a person engaged in the off-site transportation of universal waste by air, rail, highway, or water.
