LDEQ welcomes public insight into the local water bodies in the program, including any ongoing issues that may lead to water quality impairment, changes in land use or changes in hydrology.

The agency also looks to the public to notify LDEQ and the parish of facilities in violation of their permits, other noticeable problems, flow restrictions in a waterbody and point or nonpoint loading sources impacting a waterbody. Finally, citizens should participate in engagement activities hosted by the parish and LDEQ to ensure everyone is doing their part.
