Who are we?
Ø Jefferson Parish Dept. of Environmental Affairs is the Local Environmental Regulatory Agency.
Ø We work hand in hand with State and Federal officials to enforce environmental compliance on various issues including: Ø Stormwater Management Ø Pretreatment (Sewage) Ø Solid Waste Ø Coastal Management
Pre-Inspection
Ø When plans are submitted for new construction, you are required to fill out an:
Ø Environmental Affairs Permit Plan Review Form: Ø Project Description Ø Construction type (1-5 acres or >5 acres) Ø Treatment devices (grease trap, septic tank, etc.) Ø BMPs used during construction (silt fence, hay bales,
etc.) Ø We review and determine if site will require an inspection from
our Stormwater Division.
Guess What…
Ø We also perform: Ø Complaint Based Construction Site Inspections Ø Random Construction Site Inspections
Inspection Process
Ø Upon arrival for an inspection we speak with the contractor regarding who we are & why we are there.
Ø We review project plans, permit information, and stormwater pollution prevention plans.
Ø Once all paper work has been reviewed, we perform a visual inspection of the entire site.
Ø When inspection is completed we review any problems found with the contractor and discuss corrective actions that need to be taken.
Ø If corrective actions are not taken in the allotted amount of time, a court date will be set, and you could be responsible for fines up to $5,000 per violation, per day.

BROOMS TO BASINS
STORM DRAIN SAFETY INFORMATION
• TRAFFIC : Always work in groups of two or more. Since most of the storm drains are in the street, one person should always be watching for oncoming vehicles while another is marking drain.
• There may be hazards hidden in debris and leaves blocking storm grates and grills. Never reach barehanded into storm
grates or grills until you’ve used a rake, stick or broom to survey the debris.
• RED ANTS: Please be careful when clearing storm drain grills and grates; sometimes red ant piles are hidden in the debris blocking the drain. If bitten, ask your team leader for anti-‐itch medication.
• SHARPS: Broken glass, sharp metal or used hypodermic needles are hazards that can be found in front or in the vicinity of
storm drains. Please be careful handling glass and sharp objects. Hypodermic needles and other medical waste should never be handled by workers. Please notify your team leader if you encounter these materials, so that they can be flagged for removal and proper disposal by Parish workers.
• AMMUNITION and FIREARMS: Never handle these objects if found. Please notify team leader, who will call Sheriff’s
Office to remove these items.
