Planning & Permitting
DE provided a suite of technical, planning, and permitting services from preparing the MS4 permit application through completing multiple MS4 annual reports; SPCC Plans and SWPPPs for municipal facilities such as Wastewater Treatment Plants, Water Treatment Plants, Drainage Pump Stations, Landfills, and Emergency Operations Buildings. All SPCCs are prepared to be in compliance with US EPA 40 CFR Part 112 and all SWPPPs are prepared to be in compliance with the appropriate Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality Water Discharge Permit; providing technical and administrative support and guidance on stormwater to the Jefferson Parish Department of Environmental Affairs; and conducting educational workshops.
303(d) Water Sampling Plan
DE also completed a 303(d) Water Bodies Sampling Plan in order for Jefferson Parish to maintain compliance with the 303(d)/Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Monitoring Section of its 2017 LPDES MS4 Permit. During the permit renewal process, LDEQ identified four 303(d) water bodies with impairments identified as caused by the MS4 within Jefferson Parish.
