The facility is located at 1601 Louisiana Highway 108 East in Sulphur, Calcasieu Parish.
The principal discharge from this source will be made into an open ditch, thence to Bayou D’Inde and thence into the Calcasieu River via an effluent pipe, waters of the state classified for primary contact recreation, secondary contact recreation and propagation of fish and wildlife. Under the SIC 1321, the applicant proposes to discharge cooling tower blowdown water and reject water from the amine/caustic water make-up treatment unit from a proposed natural gas processing facility.
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.
This permit was processed as an expedited permit in accordance with LAC 33:I.Chapter 18.
