The LDEQ, Office of Environmental Services, is accepting written comments on a draft Louisiana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (LPDES) permit prepared for the Village of Choudrant, Squire Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, P.O. Box 288, Choudrant, Louisiana 71227. The facility is located at the dead end of Spendthrift Drive in the Squire Creek Subdivision in Choudrant, Lincoln Parish. Upon the effective date of the final permit, the LPDES permit shall replace the previously issued LPDES permit, LA0115720.
The principal discharge from this source made into an unnamed recirculation pond, thence into another unnamed pond, thence into Squire Creek (if there is any overflow from the unnamed pond), waters of the state classified for primary contact recreation, secondary contact recreation, propagation of fish and wildlife and outstanding natural resource waters. Under the SIC 4952, the applicant proposes to discharge treated sanitary wastewater from a publicly owned treatment works serving the Squire Creek Subdivision, golf course clubhouse and fitness center, maintenance building, and fire station.
During the preparation of this permit, it has been determined that the discharge will have no adverse impact on the existing uses of the receiving waterbody. As with any discharge, however, some change in existing water quality may occur.
