QTA Facility Carwash LUS Discharge Permit Information

LUS issues permits which detail requirements or best management practices (BMPs) that have to be met in order to discharge wastewater from the carwash 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 the carwash to the sanitary sewer system. This permit required LAC to develop a Pollution Prevention Plan (P3) and Slug Loading Plan (SLP) for the QTA Carwash Facility.  This permit covers all users of the facility.
