Universal Citation: LA Admin Code XI-301

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. No person shall operate a rendering plant without first obtaining a permit to operate from the parish health unit in the parish in which it operates.

B. [formerly paragraph 11:005] In applying for a permit, the applicant shall submit detailed plans for the rendering plant, showing its location, construction, equipment, water supply, sewage and refuse disposal.

C. [formerly paragraph 11:006] On receipt of an application, the state health officer shall review the plans submitted to ensure that they comply with sound sanitary engineering principles. If the plans are found satisfactory, a permit to build said facility shall be issued.

1. [formerly a part of paragraph 11:006] After completion, and during construction as necessary, the state health officer shall inspect the facility. If the inspection reveals that the facility is in compliance with all requirements of this code, a permit to operate shall be issued. This permit is conditioned on the plant being operated in such a manner so as not to create a nuisance or any condition which might injuriously affect the public health.

D. [formerly paragraph 11:007] The permit shall be issued to the person responsible for the operation of the rendering plant and is not transferable. If a different person becomes responsible, the plant will not be allowed to operate until a permit for that person has been issued.

E. [formerly paragraph 11:008] Any permit to operate a rendering plant is subject to revocation if the plant is operating at any time in violation of the provisions of this Code.
