Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Part IX - Water Quality
Subpart 1 - Water Pollution Control
Chapter 11 - Surface Water Quality Standards
Section IX-1107 - Enforcement
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The standards provided in this Chapter are official regulations of the state, and any person who discharges pollutants into the waters of the state in such quantities as to cause these standards to be violated shall be subject to the enforcement procedures of the state as specified in R.S. 30:2025.
B. Since aquatic systems receive organic and inorganic materials from natural and man-made sources and receive physical inputs from natural and man-made sources, due allowances will be made for situations where low dissolved oxygen concentrations or other water quality conditions attributable to natural sources are at variance with the standards. To allow for such situations, the numeric criteria will not be applied below the 7Q10 or other appropriate critical flow as defined in LAC 33:IX.1115.C.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 30:2074(B)(1).
