Aircraft Lavatory Waste Tirturator Facility Discharge Permit Information
LUS issues permits which detailed requirements or best management practices (BMPs) that have to be met in order to discharge aircraft lavatory wastewater to the sanitary sewer system. These permits are required by the Environmental Protection Agency to prevent the discharge of chemicals to the sewer system that could interfere with the wastewater treatment plant and cause untreated wastewater to enter our bayous and lakes.
The Lafayette Airport Commission (LAC) obtained a permit from LUS to discharge the wastewater from aircraft lavatories to the sanitary sewer system. This permit required LAC to develop a Pollution Prevention Plan (P3) and Slug Loading Plan (SLP) for the Aircraft Lavatory Waste Tirturator Facility. This permit covers all users of the facility.
