The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) provides free online access to their collection of scanned public documents through their Electronic Document Management System (EDMS). Records available date back to 2000 and include permits for businesses, general correspondence, reports, assessments and citations issued.
Creating an account is simple and there is a helpful tutorial to assist with your search. After logging in, you can search for records by company name, date, type of document and even by the property address. You may view, download, email and print documents. In the future, LDEQ plans to extend the date range of the available documents.
For more information, contact the LDEQ Customer Service Center at 225-219-5337 or toll free at 866-896-5337.
