ORDINANCE NO.
Title
An ordinance to approve and authorize the Parish President to execute an agreement between ELOS Environmental and St. Charles Parish to access, perform environmental impact analysis, wetland delineation, phase I environmental site assessment, and permitting services on property owned by Esperanza Land LLC southwest of Highway 3127 for the possibility of a future oxidation pond (Parish Project Number S190902).
Body
WHEREAS, ELOS Environmental is a professional organization specializing in environmental impact analysis in Louisiana such as wetland delineation, environmental impacts to wetlands, Phase I Environmental assessments, and permitting, as well as LPDES storm water pollution plans; and,
WHEREAS, the St. Charles Parish West Bank wastewater system is approaching capacities of the West Bank treatment facility and infiltration from storm events as well as the expected growth that will over burden the capacity of the current treatment facility; and,
WHEREAS, the implementation of the Parish-wide sewer program skipped unimproved areas that have since been developed such as the commercial area along River Road in Luling where a large number of MODAD units are privately owned and operated independent of the St. Charles Parish Wastewater System producing approximately 200,000 gallons per day of effluent; and,
WHEREAS, St. Charles Parish has the need to investigate opportunities to address this issue and has identified a site with an existing pond that has the possibility of locating and operating a new oxidation pond on Esperanza Land LLC’s property to address the Parish’s need to reduce the load on the West Bank treatment facility as well as addressing the independent privately owned treatment facilities as suggested by LADEQ.
THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL HEREBY ORDAINS:
SECTION I. That the Agreement between ELOS Environmental and St. Charles Parish is hereby approved and accepted.
