LAC 49:I.1215. Water Supply [Formerly 49:6.1080]

A. The water supply for depuration and wet storage uses shall be from a source approved by the Department of Health and Hospitals. When sea water is used in depuration or wet storage process it must be obtained from a body of water currently approved for that purpose by the Department of Health and Hospitals. For depuration purposes water may be recirculated through the tanks, but shall be discarded at the conclusion of the 48-hour treatment process. When wet storage is practiced, the sea water may be recirculated for a maximum of seven days before being discarded. The 48-hour and seven day discarding requirements may be waived when the depuration or wet storage facility utilizes a process approved by the Department of health and Hospitals for removing metabolic impurities from the process water.
