22 Miss. Code. R. 23-08-112 - Facilities Requiring Water for Cooling or Heating
112.01
Once-through cooling systems must not be used in areas where fishery organisms
are concentrated, specifically in estuaries, inlets, and small coastal
embayments.
112.02 Intake and
discharge facilities must be sited in areas of low organism
concentrations.
112.03 Intakes must
be designed to minimize impingement. If offshore intakes are employed, velocity
caps or similar means must be used to produce horizontal intake currents with a
maximum velocity of one-half (1/2) foot per second (fps) at the intake
screen.
112.04 All discharges must
meet the requirements in the "State of Mississippi Water Quality Criteria for
Intrastate, Interstate, and Coastal Waters", which can be accessed at:
http://www.deq.state.ms.us/mdeq.nsf/page/WQSB_Water_Quality_Standards.
112.05 Industrial water reuse is encouraged
to minimize adverse impacts from intake and discharge lines that may be
situated in coastal wetlands.
