Draining it into waters of the State would be a violation of LDEQ regs
Not necessarily. As long as his lake doesn't include sanitary wastewater, oil and grease, meets TSS and turbidity thresholds, doesn't result in a discharge of sediment to the water of the state, isn't a discharge from a sand or gravel mining operation, isn't used in hydrostatic testing, is free of pesticides, the area of disturbance is less than one acre, and is not associated with an automotive repair shop, I can't see where it would be regulated under LAC 33.

I see your point. I agree with you. However, if he cuts a levee and the lake drains fast it will probably bring a lot of sediment in with it. If you could make the lake drain across a field before entering the bayou it would do a good job of catching a lot of sediment. Chances are the pond has a lot of fine sediment that is going to drain with the water if it is in the bottom half of Louisiana.
