The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) was awarded a $124,000 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Administration and Resource Management under the Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant Program and Related Assistance (CFDA 66.608).
The grant will fund the development of electronic permitting portals to streamline Title V air quality reporting and the permitting processes for Class II hydrocarbon storage and Class III brine mining underground injection wells. Specifically, the LDEQ will create systems to allow regulated entities to submit these permit applications and reports electronically. This will eliminate paper forms and materials while improving the timeliness and quality of permit and compliance reviews. The portals are also intended to facilitate public access to permitting information. The project aims to enhance Louisiana's environmental data management capabilities and support the goals of the National Environmental Information Exchange Network program to increase access to and sharing of environmental data.
