Another Water Controversy in Natchitoches
While citizens have protested the constant letters received about water quality not
being optimum in Natchitoches Parish, a new potential crisis looms. Citizens are
gathering information to prepare for a June 30 meeting when the proposal of Wards
Waste will be discussed.
Wards Waste seeks a Draft Water Discharge Permit to allow the use of an unnamed
ditch for the discharge of waste water. The ditch drains into Sibley lake. Information
provided to the citizenry declares the discharge will have no adverse impact on the
existing uses of the receiving waterbody, however it is also noted "some change in
existing water quality may occur."
Given the concerns about the water quality and issues regarding the environment,
there will be a hearing on Tuesday, June 30, 2009, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the large
Court Room located on the second floor of the Natchitoches Parish Courthouse.
All interested parties and the public are invited to attend.
