This Public Notice is being Re-Issued. The original Public Notice that was posted on Wednesday, July 29, 2009, on the LDEQ Web Site, and mailed to those persons who requested to be included on the LDEQ permit public notice mailing list, did not publish, as scheduled, in The Houma Daily Courier.

 

The LDEQ, Office of Environmental Services, is accepting written comments on a draft Louisiana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (LPDES) permit prepared for Enterprise Gas Processing, LLC, North Terrebonne Gas Plant, P.O. Box 4324, Houston, Texas 77210. The facility is located at 449 Shell E&P Court near Gibson, Terrebonne Parish. Upon the effective date of the final permit, the LPDES permit LA0001457 shall replace the previously issued LPDES permit.

 

The principal discharge from this existing source is made into the Intracoastal Waterway via local drainage canal to the Elliot Jones Canal, waters of the state classified for primary contact recreation, secondary contact recreation, propagation of fish and wildlife, drinking water supply, and agriculture. Under the SIC Code 1321, the applicant proposes to discharge once through non-contact cooling water; boiler sump wastewater; process wastewater; stormwater runoff and miscellaneous wastewaters; treated sanitary wastewater; and hydrostatic test water from an existing gas processing plant.

 

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.

 

Written comments, written requests for a public hearing or written requests for notification of the final decision regarding this permit action may be submitted to Ms. Soumaya Ghosn at LDEQ, Public Participation Group, P.O. Box 4313, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-4313. Written comments and/or written requests must be received by 12:30 p.m., Monday, October 12, 2009. Written comments will be considered prior to a final permit decision.

 

If LDEQ finds a significant degree of public interest, a public hearing will be held. LDEQ will send notification of the final permit decision to the applicant and to each person who has submitted written comments or a written request for notification of the final decision.
