The following remark concerning the draft permit has been received from LDEQ.

 

Please consider the impact of Color on Ouachita River in Louisiana. Ouachita River is designated as a drinking water supply in Louisiana and as such the color shall not exceed 75 color units on platinum-cobalt scale. According to Louisiana 2006 Integrated Report/303(d) list, this segment of Ouachita River is impaired for color (the suspected source of impairment is natural condition). We suggest considering and evaluating in-stream data for the Ouachita River above and below Coffee Creek.

 

 

Please e-mail or call me to arrange a conference call for today or tomorrow.
