Published on September 23, 2004
This NEWS FLASH is intended to advise JCC clients that the expired EPA NPDES General Permit Nos. GMG280000
and GMG290000 are expected to be tentatively published during the first week of October 2004.
MORE NEWS TO FOLLOW.
EPA REGION 6 - NPDES GENERAL PERMIT GMG290000
OCS FEDERAL WATERS, WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO
POINTS TO CONSIDER:
- Permit is proposed for a 3-year term (instead of the normal 5 years) to allow for acquisition
of data to prepare the Ocean Discharge Criteria Evaluation (ODCE) under CWA 403(c) for produced
water impacts to hypoxia.
- The permit will contain a requirement for permittees to participate in an industry-wide produced
water characterization study to analyze the oxygen demanding constituents and nutrients in produced
water that may be contributing to near-field and regional hypoxic conditions.
EPA REGION 4 - NPDES GENERAL PERMIT GMG280000
OCS FEDERAL WATERS, EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO
POINTS TO CONSIDER:
- EPA is working with MMS to develop an MOU for offshore inspections. EPA wants to collect
samples of waste water for analyses and since MMS is not set up to do sampling, EPA will plan to go
offshore once per year to collect samples for analysis.
