Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4) Program

Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4) Program

Under the LPDES General Permit for Discharges from Regulated sMS4s, the Lafayette Airport Commission (LAC) is required to develop a comprehensive Stormwater Management Program for the entire LAC property.  To find out more on the work the Lafayette Airport Commission is doing for its Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control and Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operators Programs click on the links below.

An illicit discharge is any discharge to a storm drain that is not composed entirely of stormwater unless covered by a LDEQ discharge permit.  Examples of illicit discharges include rinsing paint brushes into a storm drain, contractor directly pumping soil laden water into a storm drain, and spilled material entering the storm drainage system such as fuels or oils. Illicit discharges contribute high levels of pollutants, including heavy metals, oil and grease, solvents, viruses, and bacteria to receiving water bodies. Pollutant levels from these discharges have been shown to be high enough to significantly degrade receiving water quality and threaten aquatic, wildlife, and human health.

If you observe an illicit discharge on LAC property, report this occurrence to LAC by completing the Compliant Section of the Incident reporting form below and emailing it to LAC at the email address found under the contact information section.
