Coastit Notes

June 9, 2010

 

Greetings from Department of Natural Resources Assistant Secretary Lou Buatt. 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 christine.charrier@la.gov.

 

Office of Coastal Management

 

The Office of Coastal Management is providing the  attached list of  oil spill prevention and safety related laws and regulations in order to provide additional guidance to the regulated community regarding the requirement of certification of intention to comply with spill prevention and safety requirements and thereby ensure vigilance and awareness during this extraordinary time.  This list is not intended to be relied upon as an exhaustive list and is by no means a complete list of regulations that an applicant must attest to and meet.  Since each application is different, each applicant is responsible for determining the full extent of their regulatory compliance obligations and to provide a complete list of all federal, state and local laws, regulations and rules applicable to the permit application. The applicant must abide by ALL laws and regulations, whether listed or not.  The Permit Application Form is also being modified to incorporate these requirements and will be posted online. 

 

Lafayette Field Office

 

On a lighter note, our Lafayette field office occupied by Mr. Charlie Mestayer has moved. The new address is:

 

NOAA Estuarine Habitats and Coastal Fisheries Center (EHCFC)

646 Cajundome Boulevard, Room 175

Lafayette, LA 70506

 

All phone/fax numbers and email remain the same.
