Section 22-23-08-112 - 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.
