Do you think the governor will do anything to help cancer stricken patients living next to toxic waste?

Says so in the article that they’re meeting all guidelines. And the fact that livestock produces over 1/3 of all nitrates isn’t something we can look past just to blame the boogie man in the plants.

EPA and coastguard are so far up plants asses it’s difficult to dump waste in large waterways. Now, in the past, I’ve heard horror stories of frick ups but those days seem to be far and gone.

So you link an article that’s over five years old about something a fanatical tree hugging group claims? GTFOH.

Fertilizer runoff from Iowa cornfields is a bigger pollution problem for the Gulf of Mexico.

What was your screen name on here before you made your new alter??

Louisiana sold its environment for jobs starting in the early 20’s. It hit its peak in 60’s and 70’s and everyone was aware of the problems those jobs brought with them. Nobody was going to give up a nice living for the environment, was just the mindset of the times. Can’t come through now screaming foul for what your fore fathers did willingly.
Work to clean it up but the blame is on us all by proxy and that includes you.

Yep

The next governor needs to show how the runoff of chemicals from states like Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas are the primary culprits of the pollution.

I thought this thread was about River Birch landfill company that made the huge contribution to Gumbo PAC to help JBE get re-elected.

(It is sort of BS to call nitrates toxic)

While a student at LSU, I was an intern at an engineering firm in BR, and one of the projects I worked on was for a fertilizer producer in Illinois or Iowa. Their plant was next to the river, and they drained byproduct into the water near the bank. The problem was an endangered species of mussel lived there and they'd been told to stop putting their waste product into the area where the mussels lived. The solution: extend the drainage pipe to the middle of the channel.
