Reissuance of Water Discharge General Permit LAG330000
for Discharges from Oil & Gas Exploration, Development, and
Production Facilities Located within Coastal Waters
|
Published on July 13, 2005
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) is in the process of reissuing the
Oil & Gas Coastal Waters General Permit (LAG330000) within the next two months. The “DRAFT”
LAG330000 is currently on public notice until August 1, 2005. The public notice for this
permit can be viewed at:
http://www.deq.louisiana.gov/news/pubnotice
The first step in meeting the requirements that LDEQ outlined in a mass mailing dated
July 7, 2005, will be to send written notification to LDEQ that coverage is desired under
the soon-to-be reissued LAG330000 permit.
As the renewed LAG330000 will require that specific location names, such as production facilities,
along with wells associated with the facility, and/or independent wells, be issued under distinct
permit numbers, a list should be compiled of active and inactive LDEQ Water Permits to investigate
whether your company’s coverage meets your current facility needs.
Now is also the appropriate time to determine whether outfalls under your existing LAG330000
coverage should be eliminated. In addition, any Individual LPDES Permits issued for your properties
that are within the geographic Coastal Subcategory should be examined for their potential to be
transferred to LAG330000 type coverage.
Please advise if we can answer any questions regarding this permit transition and more
specifically about the appropriate LDEQ coverage requirements for your properties.
