The Board approved a Modification of Section 401 Water Quality Certification (No. WQC 2012071) for Drying Facility Assets Holding, LLC, Picayune Frac Plant, located in Pearl River County, MS. The modification will alter permittee’s mitigation plan to allow for off-site mitigation, rather than on-site. MDEQ staff took no position on whether the Board should grant the proposed modification. The Modification was approved on the condition that the wetlands designated for enhancement and restoration are left within the perpetual conservation easement.

OTHER BUSINESS

Mr. Roy Furrh, MDEQ General Counsel, advised the Board that due to legislation, passed in the 2016 Regular Session of the Mississippi Legislature, that places fees collected by state agencies into the state’s general fund, the Office of the Attorney General would no longer be able to provide hearing officers to MDEQ. Mr. Furrh stated that a list of former assistant attorneys general and private practitioners was being compiled to serve as hearing officers.

The next Permit Board meeting will be held on September 13, 2016, at 9 a.m.
