RESOLUTION NO. _________
Title
A resolution notifying the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality that the St. Charles Parish Department of Wastewater has reviewed the Municipal Water Pollution Prevention Environmental Audit Report for LA0032131 - Luling Oxidation Pond, and set forth the required action.
Body
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality Municipal Water Pollution Prevention Environmental Audit Report Program is designed to encourage municipal wastewater facilities to provide compliance maintenance prior to becoming noncompliant; and,
WHEREAS, it is necessary to submit the Environmental Audit to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality along with this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL, do hereby notify the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality that the St. Charles Parish Department of Wastewater has reviewed the Municipal Water Pollution Prevention Environmental Audit Report (copy attached) and sets forth the following action necessary to maintain permit requirements contained in LA0032131, Luling Oxidation Pond:
a. Smoke testing, monitoring, and continuous maintenance and upgrading of existing sewer collection lines. The Wastewater Department is using its camera equipment to thoroughly inspect the gravity lines in the system.
b. Currently undergoing an aggressive preventive maintenance program. This program includes rehabilitation of lift station control panels and a comprehensive lift station inspection form.
c. The St. Charles Parish Wastewater Regionalization Program, which involves two (2) regional treatment plants, one each on the East Bank and the West Bank of St. Charles Parish, was completed March 2001. All domestic waste in the Parish is being treated at the Destrehan Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Hahnville Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Luling Oxidation Pond and the Ama Wastewater Treatment Plant. We will continue to operate the Ama Wastewater Treatment Plant until the Luling Oxidation Pond is able to accept the flow from that plant. The Luling Oxidation Pond is currently in the planning/engineering phase for upgrades and improvements.
d. In accordance with the conditions of the LDEQ State Revolving Loan Fund, the Wastewater Department will continue to replace manholes and sewer collection system lines which are old and dilapidated resulting in excessive inflow and infiltration causing overflows, bypasses and permit violations.
Vote
The foregoing resolution having been submitted to a vote, the vote thereon was as follows:
And the resolution was declared adopted this _______ day of _______________, 2001, to become effective five (5) days after publication in the Official Journal.
