The

Louisiana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (LPDES) permit prepared for Jevcon,

facility is located at 4767 Highway 397 in Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish. Upon the effective date of the final permit, the LPDES permit shall

a parish drainage ditch; thence
into Black Bayou; thence into the Intracoastal Waterways, waters of
the state classified for primary contact
recreation, secondary contact recreation, propagation of fish and wildlife, and
agriculture. Under the SIC Code

proposes to discharge contact
stormwater and treated sanitary wastewater from a Type III Construction and
Demolition Landfill.

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.
