Coastit Notes
May 21, 2010
Greetings from Department of Natural Resources Assistant Secretary
Lou Buatt.
Permits Section Updates
OCM would like to remind
all applicants proposing new oil & gas wells, workover of existing oil
& gas wells, new production facilities and maintenance and/or expansion of
existing production facilities that the applicant must provide OCM with a list
of all federal, state and local oil & gas spill prevention related laws
that are applicable to the proposed activity AND a statement attesting
that they will comply with all of them. To assist you in developing a
list of relevant laws, please view the LDNR/Office of Conservation’s Title 43,
Chapter XIX (http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/osr/LAC/lac43.htm) and LDEQ’s Title 33, Chapter IX (http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/osr/LAC/lac33.htm). Please note that by no means are these the only
applicable state laws and that federal laws, including FEMA, and local laws
also must be identified and listed. It is the applicant’s responsibility
to identify, list and comply with all applicable laws. Failure to list a
law in the permit application does not relieve the applicant of the requirement
to comply with that law.
Coastit Notes is a publication of the Office of Coastal Management
to inform permit applicants, the public and others of events and items that may
impact them or their interaction with our office. This e-document is
intended to improve customer service and awareness of OCM works and functions
and includes announcements from all OCM divisions as issues arise. If you
wish to be removed from this list or have been forwarded this email and wish to
be added to the list, please contact Christine Charrier at OCMinfo@la.gov.
