Industrial Facilities Releasing Pollutants into the Surface Water Resources of the State of Louisiana - Pollutants That Are Not Covered by State Water Quality Criteria or Have State Water Quality Criteria Higher than Corresponding US EPA Criteria
Based on Evaluation of Louisiana Water Quality Criteria by Environmental Law Institute, 2009
by Wilma Subra
Louisiana Environmental Action Network
In 2009, the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) issued a report on Water Quality Criteria for the 10 states that border directly on
the main stem of the Mississippi River. For each state ELI compared the state numeric water quality criteria to criteria and standards issued by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The section of the report dealing with the state of Louisiana Water Quality Criteria compared Louisiana Water Quality Criteria as of July 2008 to US EPA Water Quality Criteria. The results sited pollutants for which US EPA has adopted Water Quality Criteria and for which Louisiana has not published corresponding Water Quality Criteria. The report also identified pollutants with a state criterion-concentration higher than the criterion-concentration in the corresponding US EPA criteria.
The following information was developed to identify the industrial facilities known to release pollutant chemicals into the surface water resources of the state of Louisiana that do not have Louisiana Water Quality Criteria or have Louisiana Water Quality Criteria that are higher than the corresponding US EPA Criteria. Table 1 presents the industrial facilities and the water bodies into which they discharge chemical pollutants that do not have Louisiana Water Quality Criteria (as of July 2008) but do have US EPA Water Quality Criteria. Table 2 presents the industrial facilities and the water bodies into which they discharge chemical pollutants that have Louisiana Water Quality Criteria that are higher than corresponding US EPA Criteria.
Table 3 presents chemical pollutants by designated use that do not have Louisiana Water Quality Criteria but do have US EPA Water Quality Criteria, the industrial facilities discharging the chemical pollutants and the Louisiana water body into which the chemical pollutants are being discharged. Table 4 presents chemical pollutants by designated use that have Louisiana Water Quality Criteria that are higher than corresponding US EPA Criteria, the industrial facilities discharging the chemical pollutants into waters of the state of Louisiana and the water bodies into which the chemical pollutants are being discharged.
A summary of the information presented in detail in Tables 1 through 4 are present below. A total of 40 pollutants lack Louisiana Water Quality Criteria while US EPA has Water Quality Criteria for those chemicals in specific designated uses. The 40 pollutants that lack Water Quality Criteria are discharged into the waters of the state of Louisiana by 85 industrial facilities.
A total of 15 pollutants have Louisiana Water Quality Criteria that are higher than US EPA Water Quality Criteria and the pollutants are discharged into the waters of the state of Louisiana by 82 industrial facilities.
