The draft Rule can be viewed at: https://www.dce.louisiana.gov/assets/OMR/Title-43-Part-VI-Water-Resources-Management.docx C&E proposes to consolidate rules governing groundwater management; water-well drilling and construction standards; water-well plugging and abandonment requirements; and special rules for the Capital Area Groundwater Conservation District. Rules for these functions are presently scattered through several LAC titles, making them less accessible to water-well owners, drillers, regulated users, and the general public. C&E also seeks to re-promulgate rules to ensure they conform to changes made by Act 458 of the 2025 Regular Session, reorganizing the former Department of Energy and Natural Resources (DENR), transferring the authority of the former commissioner of Conservation to the C&E Secretary, as the commissioner of Conservation title was changed/consolidated to Secretary of C&E. In addition to the changes described above, there are several proposed changes for which C&E wishes to give particular notice: defining large volume well to include any well with an eight-inch or greater diameter screen, or any well (alone or in combination with related wells) determined capable of producing 300 gallons per minute, in place of the prior 1,500-gallon-per-minute threshold; strengthening of language relative to variance requests made to the department and the flexibility of the department in responding to, granting, altering, or otherwise handling such requests; creation of Areas of Investigation terminology as a tool for the collection of data in a specific geographic region under an order of the secretary, separate and apart from Groundwater Area of Concern and Critical Area of Concern designations; making orders of the secretary appealable to the Nineteenth Judicial District Court as provided by law; making new provisions prohibiting screening or perforating a water well, environmental well, test hole, or borehole across or into more than one distinct aquifer; carrying forward the special rules for the Capital Area Ground Water Conservation District, while removing duplicative rules specific to this district that were previously separate from state rules. Public Comments C&E requests persons or organizations interested in providing written comments or other feedback on the proposed rule changes do so through the Rule Comment Webpage (https://www.dce.louisiana.gov/form/rulemaking-comments) or by email to cerulecomments@stateofla.onmicrosoft.com. All comments must be received by the close of business on October 15, 2026. Monique M. Edwards Executive Director 2609#015 POTPOURRI Department of Environmental Quality Office of the Secretary Legal Affairs Division Notice of Public HearingSubstantive Changes to Proposed Rule WQ118Turbidity Criteria Refinement(LAC 33:IX.1113 and 1123) Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act, R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the secretary gives notice that the department is seeking to incorporate substantive changes to proposed regulation (LAC 33:IX.1113 and 1123), which was originally noticed as WQ118 in the May 20, 2026, issue of the Louisiana Register. (2609Pot1) The department has proposed substantive changes to address comments received during the public comment period of proposed rule WQ118. Louisiana's turbidity criteria are expressed as general and numeric criteria. In 2025, the Water Planning and Assessment Division completed a study with the objective to determine appropriate methods for developing numeric turbidity criteria in select water bodies. https://edms.deq.louisiana.gov/app/doc/view?doc=14986295 An endnote is incorporated as a placeholder, because this subsegment may or may change in the future and the subsegment is retaining the current 50 NTU criteria based on LAC 33:IX.1113.B.9.b. In the interest of clarity and transparency, the department is providing public notice and opportunity to comment on the proposed changes to the amendments of the regulation in question. The department is also providing an interim response to comments received on the initial regulation proposal. A strikeout/underline/shaded version of the proposed rule that distinguishes original proposed language from language changed by this proposal and the interim response to comments are available on the department’s website under Rules and Regulations at https://www.deq.louisiana.gov/about-ldeq/rules-regulations.

Jill C. Clark General Counsel 2609#042 POTPOURRI Department of Environmental Quality Office of the Secretary Legal Affairs Division Regional Haze First Planning PeriodState Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision Under the authority of the Louisiana Environmental Quality Act, R.S. 30:2051 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the Secretary gives notice that the Office of Environmental Assessment, Air Planning and Assessment Division, is seeking to revise the Louisiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Regional Haze, namely the Regional Haze First Planning Period, as required by 40 CFR 51.308 (a) and (b). (2609Pot2) The Air Planning and Assessment Division is submitting a revision to the regional haze provisions of the Louisiana SIP, specifically for the Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements for one source, Phillips 66 – Alliance Refinery. This revision is necessary due to a change in ownership of Phillips 66 – Alliance Refinery. LDEQ has revised the Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to reflect the change in ownership. None of the required emission limitations or the associated recordkeeping, monitoring, testing, and reporting requirements have changed. Because the emission limitations or the associated recordkeeping, monitoring, testing and reporting requirements remain unchanged for the facility, this SIP revision meets the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 110(l) requirements. Public Comments All interested persons may submit written comments no later than 4:30 p.m., October 30, 2026, to Arlys Dalton, Office of Environmental Assessment, P.O.
