Motion by Mr. Joe Bishop, seconded by Mr. Craig Smith, to recognize Mr. Scott Lemmons with Advance Environmental Compliance, LLC to discuss the requirements of the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality MS4 Permit and the proposed ordinance to meet the permit requirements for storm water management. On vote the motion carried. Mr. Theodore Fountaine voted nay.

Mr. Scott Lemmons, Advance Environmental Compliance, LLC introduced Mr. Justin Lemmons. Mr. Lemmons explained that in 2013, the LDEQ started requiring MS4 Permits. This has been directed for all 50 states and each has its own regulations relating to storm water management. This is a threat to both aquatic and public health. An MS4 is a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System, including roads, drains, streets, catchments, gutters, curves, ditches, channels and storm drains. The term MS4 Permit refers to the regulations that have been developed to minimalize the environmental impact of storm water discharge and separate from under sewer systems. MS4 permitting was issued in two phases. Phase I was rolled out beginning 1990 and some of the towns and municipalities in Rapides Parish have already started the MS4 permitting. Phase II was adopted in 2003. It relates to a general permit for discharged storm water for small MS4’s. It provides permit coverage for municipalities of fewer than 100,000, including public education canvasses, government facilities, hospital facilities, prison complexes and military bases. The permits do expire and have to be updated periodically for compliance. He stated that when Dennis Woodward, Public Works Director, contacted him, they applied for a notice of intent with LDEQ in 2013. They gave them five years to get this implemented. It is quite a bit of work REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 2018

to get implemented. They contacted the RAPC and saw that there is a need for an ordinance. The ordinance gives the outreach to let people know what is required when they start construction and there is different phases that you go through. That ordinance will cover everything from there septic fencing, litter, people washing out paint cans, concrete wash out, etc. Through these ordinances some municipalities charge a fee for someone coming in to build a new house. After visiting with RAPC, it was noted we will have to have trained inspectors. We looked at maybe instituting a fee for this, but we didn’t get too involved in that. This was given in 2013, Dennis contacted him in 2017 and this was supposed to be completed by this year. Mr. Lemmons stated they asked for an extension and received it from LDEQ. The ordinance that is being talked about is a work in progress.

Mr. Dennis Woodward stated he had passed out a letter he received in November, 2017. The letter was to do a self-assessment and they gave thirty days but we got an extension on that, but they are requesting information like public education and construction sites, these are the things we are supposed to be making improvements in. It shows we will have penalties, if we don’t do all this, up to $37,500 a day.

Mr. Bubba Moreau questioned what the extension period was, to which Mr. Lemmons stated it was open, just let them know we are working through this and trying to get an ordinance done. As long as we have a working relationship with them and call them every thirty days or so, give them our progress, they pretty much left it open. We are fast tracking and RAPC has been meeting with us.

Mr. Matt Johns, RAPC Director, stated because they already go to the construction sites, the majority of those can be covered why they are doing the uniform construction code inspections. No extra cost, just a little extra time. They looked at doing this as cheap as possible.

Discussion ensued.

Mr. Lemmons stated that as it goes on, there will be “best management practices” in which we have six minimum control measures that they are going to inspect. Each year an annual report will have to be filed with LDEQ on the progress. This is not something that is going to go away. It is a self-assessment or self-audit that will be required. The six control measures are public, education outreach, public involvement, this will turn into an illicit discharge, detection and elimination. They will not be looking at anything urban. If they go through the City of Alexandria, Town of Ball, or any other entity that has a MS4, they will report to those entities. This is just rural.

Mr. Tom Wells questioned if it was mandated parish wide, to which Mr. Lemmons stated yes, it will be for the entire state. Whatever is not covered by the municipalities, it will be picked up by the Police Jury.

Mr. Wells questioned that the Police Jury does permits to discharged treatable removal into roadside ditches and would it affect that, to which Mr. Lemmons stated possibly.

Discussion ensued. REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 2018

Mr. Ollie Overton questioned how far back we would have to go on subdivisions that are already established, to which Mr. Lemmons said they would be grandfathered in.

On motion by Mr. Joe Bishop, seconded by Mr. Ollie Overton, to authorize amending Rapides Disaster Recovery Alliance’s contract for engineering services for the CDBG-DR North Bank Grant Red River Levee Improvements Project, to increase fees by $20,845, associated with basic engineering, surveying and environmental delineations and permitting, and authorize the President to execute the amendment.

On motion by Mr. Scott Perry, seconded by Mr. Joe Bishop, to authorize the Maintenance Department to construct a wall and a door in the Rapides Parish District Attorney’s Office, City of Alexandria Building Permit No. 24375. Cost will be less than $500.00, to be reimbursed by the District Attorney’s Office. On vote the motion carried. Mr. Theodore Fountaine voted nay.

Motion by Mr. Joe Bishop, seconded by Mr. Craig Smith, to recognize Mr. Scott Lemmons with Advance Environmental Compliance, LLC to discuss the requirements of the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality MS4 Permit and the proposed ordinance to meet the permit requirements for storm water management. On vote the motion carried. Mr. Theodore Fountaine voted nay.

Mr. Scott Lemmons, Advance Environmental Compliance, LLC introduced Mr. Justin Lemmons. Mr. Lemmons explained that in 2013, the LDEQ started requiring MS4 Permits. This has been directed for all 50 states and each has its own regulations relating to storm water management. This is a threat to both aquatic and public health. An MS4 is a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System, including roads, drains, streets, catchments, gutters, curves, ditches, channels and storm drains. The term MS4 Permit refers to the regulations that have been developed to minimalize the environmental impact of storm water discharge and separate from under sewer systems. MS4 permitting was issued in two phases. Phase I was rolled out beginning 1990 and some of the towns and municipalities in Rapides Parish have already started the MS4 permitting. Phase II was adopted in 2003. It relates to a general permit for discharged storm water for small MS4’s. It provides permit coverage for municipalities of fewer than 100,000, including public education canvasses, government facilities, hospital facilities, prison complexes and military bases. The permits do expire and have to be updated periodically for compliance. He stated that when Dennis Woodward, Public Works Director, contacted him, they applied for a notice of intent with LDEQ in 2013. They gave them five years to get this implemented. It is quite a bit of work REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 2018

to get implemented. They contacted the RAPC and saw that there is a need for an ordinance. The ordinance gives the outreach to let people know what is required when they start construction and there is different phases that you go through. That ordinance will cover everything from there septic fencing, litter, people washing out paint cans, concrete wash out, etc. Through these ordinances some municipalities charge a fee for someone coming in to build a new house. After visiting with RAPC, it was noted we will have to have trained inspectors. We looked at maybe instituting a fee for this, but we didn’t get too involved in that. This was given in 2013, Dennis contacted him in 2017 and this was supposed to be completed by this year. Mr. Lemmons stated they asked for an extension and received it from LDEQ. The ordinance that is being talked about is a work in progress.

Mr. Dennis Woodward stated he had passed out a letter he received in November, 2017. The letter was to do a self-assessment and they gave thirty days but we got an extension on that, but they are requesting information like public education and construction sites, these are the things we are supposed to be making improvements in. It shows we will have penalties, if we don’t do all this, up to $37,500 a day.

Mr. Bubba Moreau questioned what the extension period was, to which Mr. Lemmons stated it was open, just let them know we are working through this and trying to get an ordinance done. As long as we have a working relationship with them and call them every thirty days or so, give them our progress, they pretty much left it open. We are fast tracking and RAPC has been meeting with us.

Mr. Matt Johns, RAPC Director, stated because they already go to the construction sites, the majority of those can be covered why they are doing the uniform construction code inspections. No extra cost, just a little extra time. They looked at doing this as cheap as possible.

Discussion ensued.

Mr. Lemmons stated that as it goes on, there will be “best management practices” in which we have six minimum control measures that they are going to inspect. Each year an annual report will have to be filed with LDEQ on the progress. This is not something that is going to go away. It is a self-assessment or self-audit that will be required. The six control measures are public, education outreach, public involvement, this will turn into an illicit discharge, detection and elimination. They will not be looking at anything urban. If they go through the City of Alexandria, Town of Ball, or any other entity that has a MS4, they will report to those entities. This is just rural.

Mr. Tom Wells questioned if it was mandated parish wide, to which Mr. Lemmons stated yes, it will be for the entire state. Whatever is not covered by the municipalities, it will be picked up by the Police Jury.

Mr. Wells questioned that the Police Jury does permits to discharged treatable removal into roadside ditches and would it affect that, to which Mr. Lemmons stated possibly.

Discussion ensued. REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 2018

Mr. Ollie Overton questioned how far back we would have to go on subdivisions that are already established, to which Mr. Lemmons said they would be grandfathered in.

On motion by Mr. Joe Bishop, seconded by Mr. Ollie Overton, to authorize amending Rapides Disaster Recovery Alliance’s contract for engineering services for the CDBG-DR North Bank Grant Red River Levee Improvements Project, to increase fees by $20,845, associated with basic engineering, surveying and environmental delineations and permitting, and authorize the President to execute the amendment. On vote the motion carried.

On motion by Mr. Ollie Overton, seconded by Mr. Joe Bishop, to authorize amending the CDBG-DR Red River Levee North Bank Grant Levee Improvement Project scope and budget to align with the updated cost estimate for the project, and authorize the president to execute the amendment. The total grant funding included in the current project budget will remain the same, this project amendment only moves money between line items within the current project budget. On vote the motion carried.

On motion by Mr. Joe Bishop, seconded by Mr. Ollie Overton, to authorize amending Frye Magee LLC’s contract for grant administration services for the CDBG-DR Red River Levee Recertification Project, to transfer $15,000 in grant administration fees from the Spanish Bayou Pump Station Project to the Pineville Utility Conflicts project, and authorize the President to execute the amendment. This amendment does not increase the total value for Frye Magee’s contract. On vote the motion carried.

On motion by Mr. Ollie Overton, seconded by Mr. Joe Bishop, to authorize amending the CDBG-DR Red River Levee Spanish Bayou Pump Station budget to reduce grant funding by $15,000 for administration fees associated with the project, and authorize the President to execute the amendment.
