### PART I Page 2 of 16 LAG530000 ; AI 97167 PER20060001

SECTION A. APPLICABILITY

Facilities covered by this general permit are those disch arging treated sanitary wastewater and/or other accepted wastewater types in quantities less than 5,000 GPD maximum expected flow as calculated using the sewage loading guidelines in the state sanitary code or from an alternative approved data s ource and which are required to meet a secondary level of treatme nt. “Accepted wastewater types” include those wastewaters with effl uent characteristics which are not significantly different from sanitary wastewaters and which may be successfully treated by bi ological means to meet effluent limitations. Facilities covere d include, but are not limited to, residential subdivisions, traile r parks, on-site residential laundry facilities, coin operated Laundromats, restaurants, schools, shopping centers, offi ce buildings, and publicly owned treatment works.

All persons operating a source or conducting an activity that results in a treated sanitary wastewater discharge as described above are eligible for coverage under this general permit and will become perm ittees authorized to discharge upon written notification by this Office of coverage unde r this general permit. Notice of intent (NOI) to be covered under this general per mit should be made using form WPS-G which may be obt ained by calling (225) 219-3181 or on the internet at http://www.deq.louisiana.gov/portal/Portals/0/permits/lpdes/wps-g.pdf . Existing dischargers eligible for this permit must submit a NOI within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this permit. Proposed facilities desiring coverage under this per mit must submit a NOI at least thirty (30) days prior to commencem ent of discharge. Any permittee covered by an individual permit may request that the individual permit be canceled if the permitted source or activity is also elig ible for coverage by this ge neral permit. Upon written acceptance of that request by this Office, the permittee will be covered by this general permit. Existin g dischargers currently covered under the previous Class I Sanitary Discharge General Permit shall automatically be covered under this general permit, provided they continue to meet all applicability requirements.

This general permit shall not apply to:

1. discharges other than those described above;

2. facilities which do not conform with the regulati ons set forth in the Louisiana Sanitary Code;

3. facilities which receive unacceptable wastewater types from industrial and/or other sources; and

4. facilities which have been assigned limitations in the Louisiana Water Qua lity Management Plan or an approved Waste Load Allocation (from a previous study or fro m the current updates from the Total Maximum Daily Loads) that are different from those in this permit.

5. sanitary discharges at operations classed as new sources or new dischargers, if the discharge will cause or contribute to the violation of water quality standards (LAC 33:IX.2317.A.9).

6. facilities proposing to discharge into a waterbody designa ted as Outstanding Natural Resource Waters, as defined in LAC 33:IX.1123.Table 3, if it will cause degrada tion of these waters. As per LAC 33:IX.1119.C.4, Degradation is defined as a statistically significant diffe rence at the 90 percent confidence interval from existing physical, chemical, and biological conditions. It will be the applicant’s responsibility to provide data to the Water Permit Division to show that its facility will not cause degradation to Outstanding Natural Resource Waters as defined above.

SECTION B. EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS

The limitations listed below shall apply to each outfall at the facility. Please see Appendix A of this permit for the Outfall description and applicable schedules that shall apply to each particular outfall.

SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Act : means Act 449 of the 1979 Louisiana Legi slature which established Section 2001, et seq . of Title 30 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 and any subsequent amendment to these Sections.

2. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5 

### ) : means the amount of oxygen required by bacteria during the decay of organic and nitrogenous material in sanitary sewage.

3. Daily Discharge : means the discharge of a pollutant m easured during a calendar day or any 24- hour period that reasonably represents the calenda r day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants with limitations expressed in terms of mass, the “d aily discharge” is calcula ted as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the sampling day. Fo r pollutants with limitations expressed in other units of measurements, the “daily discharge” is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the sampling day. “Daily discharg e” determination of concentration made using a composite sample shall be the concentration of the composite sample. When grab samples are used, the “daily discharge” determination of concentration shall be the arithmetic average (weighted by flow value) of all samples collected during that sampling day.

4. Daily Maximum : discharge limitation means the highest allowable “daily discharge” during the calendar month.

5. Monthly Average : other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the highest allowable arithmetic mean of the “daily discharges” over a calendar month, cal culated as the sum of all “daily discharges” measured during a calendar month divided by the number of “daily discharges” measured during that month. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the “daily discharges” over a calendar month.

6. Weekly Average : other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the highest allowable arithmetic mean of the “daily discharges” over a calendar week, calcu lated as the sum of all “daily discharges” measured during a calendar week divided by the number of “daily discharges” measured during that week. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the “daily discharges” over a calendar week.

7. Facility : means a pollution source, or any public or pr ivate property or site and all contiguous land and structures, other appurtenances and improve ments, where any activity is conducted which discharges or may result in the discharge of pollutants into waters of the State.

8. Fecal coliform : means a gram negative, non-spore forming, rod-sh aped bacteria found in the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals.

9. Maximum Expected Flow : means the rate of wastewater flow e xpected upon the completion of the planned facility or activity.

10. mg/L : means milligrams per liter; it is essentially equivalent to parts per million in d ilute aqueous solutions.

11. Office : means the Office of Environmental Services within the Department of Environmental Quality.

12. Sanitary wastewater : means treated or untreated wastewaters which contain human metabolic and domestic
wastes.

13. Standard Methods : means Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater , American Public Health Association, Washington, DC.

14. Total suspended solids (TSS) : means the amount of solid material suspended in water commonly expressed as a concentration in terms of mg/L.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS (cont.)

SECTION C. COVERAGE UNDER SUBSEQUENT PERMITS

Should this permit expire before it is reissued, this O ffice will administratively extend the permit to discharge to current permittees until such time that a new general permit is issued. Instructions for obtaining coverage under the reissued permit will be included in that permit.

SECTION D. TERMINATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO DISCHARGE

This Office reserves the right to revoke the authorization to discharge in accordance with this general permit as it applies to any person and/or require such person to apply for and obtain an individual permit if:

1. the covered source or activity is a significant cont ributor of pollution or creates other environmental problems;

2. the permittee is not in compliance with the terms and conditions of this general permit;

3. conditions or standards have changed so that the source or activity no longer qualifies for this general permit; or

4. the discharge limitations contained in this permit ar e not in accordance with th e Louisiana Water Quality Management Plan.

SECTION E. COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE

The permittee shall be in compliance with the effluent limitations and monitoring requi rements specified herein on the date of authorization of coverage unde r this general permit. If a discharge is found to be in violation of specified limits, the permittee will be subject to enforcement action, including civil penalties, and may be required to obtain an individual permit.

SECTION F. PROPERTY RIGHTS

Authorization to discha rge pursuant to the conditions of this permit does not relieve the permittee of any liability for damages to state waters or private property. For disc harges to private land, this permit does not relieve the permittee from obtaining approval from the landowner for appropriate easements and rights of way.

### PART II Page 4 of 11 LAG530000 ; AI 97167 PER20060001

OTHER REQUIREMENTS (cont.)

SECTION G. REMOVED SUBSTANCES

Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be properly disposed of in comp liance with applicable state laws, regulations and permit requirements and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materi als from entering the waters of the State. The permittee may need to contact the Water Permits Division of th e Office of Environmental Services for information on regulations and permits to dispose of this material.

SECTION H. SANITARY DISCHARGE

The Department of Environmental Quality reserves the right to impose more stringent discharge limitations and/or additional restrictions in the future to maintain water quality integrity and the designated uses of the receiving water bodies based upon water quality studies. These studies may indicate the need for more advanced wastewater treatment. Studies of similar discharges and receiving water bodies have resulted in monthly average effluent limitations of 5 mg/L CBOD 5 

### and 2 mg/L NH 3 

### -N. Therefore, prior to upgr ading or expanding any permitted sewage treatment method at the facility, the permittee should contact the Department to determine the status of the work being done to establish future effluent limitations and additional permit conditions.

Future water quality studies may indicate potential toxicity from the presence of residual chlorine in the treatment facility's effluent. Therefore, the permittee is hereby advi sed that a future Total Residual Chlorine Limitation may be required if chlorine is used as a method of disinfection. In many cases, this becomes a NO MEASURABLE Total Residual Chlorine Limitation. If such a limitation were imposed, the permittee would be required to apply for an individual permit.

SECTION I. OTHER DISCHARGES

This permit does not in any way authori ze the permittee to discharge a pollutant not listed or quantified in the notice of intent or as otherwise authorized in the permit.

Any runoff leaving the site, other than the permi tted outfalls, exceeding 50 mg/l Total Organic Carbon (TOC), 15 mg/l Oil and Grease, or having a pH less than 6.0 or greater than 9.0 standard units shall be a violation of this permit.

### PART II Page 5 of 11 LAG530000 ; AI 97167 PER20060001

OTHER REQUIREMENTS (cont.)

SECTION J. INTERIM EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS

The interim limitations found in the various schedules are intended to provide facilities with a reasonable amount of time in which to achieve compliance with the final effluent limitations. Under no circumstances will an eligible facility be allowed more than three ye ars from the date of authorization of coverage under this general permit to attain compliance with the final effluent limitations. Facilities currently meeting the Final Effluent Limitations contained in this permit shall be required to continue to meet the Final Effluent Limitations unless otherwise instructed by this Office.

If an interim schedule is granted fo r a schedule in this permit, you are required to submit to this Office annual progress reports on the status of improvements at your facility. The first of these annual reports must be received no later than six (6) months from the original date of notification of coverage under this general permit. Subsequent reports shall be submitted at one year intervals.

In the event that this general permit expires before a given eligible facility has completed its interim period, provisions will be made upon the renewal of this general perm it to allow such facilities time, not to exceed a total of three years from the original authority of coverage, to achieve compliance with the final effluent limitations.

SECTION K. STATE WATER QUALITY STANDARDS

LAC 33:IX.1113 describes numerical and general criteria that apply to all discharges into waters of the State. Criteria are elements of the water quality which set limitations on the perm issible amounts of a substance or other characteristics of state waters. The General Criteria, as described in the Louisiana Administrative Code, limit discharges to maintain aesthetics, color, turbidity, the biological and aquatic co mmunity integrity, and many other elements in the receiving water body. Any noncompliance with the General or Numerical Criteria is not authorized under this permit.

To comply with the requirements of LAC 33:IX.2317.A.9, this permit does not authorize a sanitary discharge at an operation which is classed as a new source or new discharge, as defined at LAC 33:IX.2313, if the discharge will cause or contribute to the violation of water quality standards. As with other LPDES general permits issued by LDEQ, an extensive eligibility review, based on the sp ecialty NOI plus any additional clarifying information, including a site visit if needed, is required before authorization under the permit can be granted. Proposed discharges to receiving streams which are listed on the state’s 303(d) list will be evaluated, based on the extensive information which must be provided in the application form to determine their potential to cause or cont ribute to a violation of water quality standards. Evaluations of proposed discharge characteristics including volume, fre quency, and method of release, distance from receiving stream, receiving stream hydrology, plus any relevant factors, will be completed. New source or new sanitary discharges determined to have reasonable potential to cause or contri bute to the violation of water quality standards will not be approved, unless the reasonable potential is removed by applyi ng one or more of the additional schedule allowed for in this permit. Documentation to support the permitting determina tion will be included in the statement of basis which must be prepared prior to the authorization of any discharge under this permit.

Turbidity limitations will be required if they are established in a finalized TMDL or other wasteload allocation, and thisTMDL or wasteload allocation establishes the limitation at the standard found in LAC 33:IX.113.B.9.i-vi. Also, on a caseby-case basis, the turbidity limitation could be imposed on a facility to address a 303(d) impairment without a finalized TMDL.

As per LAC 33:IX.1113.B.9.i-vi, turbidity shall be limited as s hown in the following table. Maximum turbidity levels are expressed as nephelometric turbidity units, or NTUs.

Discharges must be directly into one of the below named waterbodies in order for the effluent limitation to apply.

Waterbody Turbidity Limit (NTU) Red, Mermentau, Atchafalaya, Mississippi, and Vermilion Rivers 150 NTU estuarine lakes, bays, bayous, and canals 1 50 NTU Amite, Pearl, Ouachita, Sabine, Calcasieu, Tangipahoa, Tickfaw, and Tchefuncta Rivers 50 NTU freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and oxbows 2 25 NTU designated scenic streams and outstanding natural resource waters not previously mentioned 3 25 NTU

1 LAC 33:IX.1121.B.3.b.iii.(d) refers to marine as water bo dies with salinities equal or greater than two parts per thousand. The same principle applies here.

2 LAC 33:IX.1121.B.3.b.iii.(a) refers to fr eshwater as water bodies with salin ities less than two parts per thousand. The same principle applies here.

3 Outstanding natural resource waters include water bodies designated for preservation, protection, reclamation, or enhancement of wilderness, aesthetic qualities, and ecological regimes, such as those designated under the Louisiana Natural and Scenic Rivers System or those designa ted by the office as waters of ecological significance. This use designation applies only to the water bodies sp ecifically identified in Table 3 (LAC 33:IX.1123) and not to their tributaries or distributaries unless so specified.

4 Background refers to the average presence in the envi ronment, originally referring to naturally occurring phenomena. The ambient instream concentration for a pollu tant. (EPA, 1989) The permittee shall analyze at least three upstream samples for turbidity. The arithmetic aver age of these samples equals the background turbidity, or B. The calculation for finding 10% of the background turbidity is shown below:

B x 0.1 = X

10% of the background turbidity is denoted by X. Turbidity limit = B + X.
