At least one chemical plant on the river in the river parishes stored large quantities of chlorinated organic liquid byproducts in barrels. These were loaded onto barges and eventually dumped off shore in the Gulf of Mexico. This was in the 60's and 70's. They also direct injected this organic waste into ground disposal wells. They eventually installed incinerators to burn the organic wastes and produce hydrochloric acid.
A lot of organic pollution happened I'm sure at other chemical plants in the 60's and 70's.
I'm pretty sure there is still organic pollution that doesn't get reported, but the environmental pollution today is not nearly as bad as in the past.

I'm not debating the point of industrial pollution. I'm more in defense on the side of agricultural pollutants from farmers. Which is what this guy seems is the problem.
No shite chemical corps fricked the area up with waste.
