Are people aware of a company trying to get permits for a toxic gas barge cleaning facility across from farr park on river road!!!!!!! This is really bad for this area so close to LSU campus. Probably just a few miles from a stadium full of people on a Saturday night. A public hearing will be at DEQ in Baton Rouge on Tuesday the 18th at 6pm. This does not need to be built so close to residential and a college campus.

I can't recall a barge cleaning facility exploding in the past decade. Sometimes I'm wrong.

It's all contained cleaning. Not like plants emitting shite. Get over it.

Forget the stadium, what about the Lazy River? Will it be ok?

This facility is the size of a pimple on the arse of Exxon Mobil in Baton Rouge, which is the same distance from LSU campus and residential areas. Barges and ships travel up and down the river in this area full of hazardous cargo, all day every day, yet these local residents still chose to buy and live in this area. This situation is so blown out of proportion it drives me nuts.

And then there is the eagles nest. I've seen more bald eagles in my life working on the river at the refineries in Norco than I ever have anywhere else. This little facility is not going to ruin your bird watching.

Stop getting in the way of progress and job creation, bunch of tree huggers.

Guess he has no idea how many of these "barge cleaning facilities" there are up and down the river and ICWW. HE should be more worried about the plant sitting right smack dab in the middle of downtown Baton Rouge.

If it makes you piss your pants less, the guy that runs the Pt. Arthur facility and I will be in the South Endzone breathing in all of the pollutants. He's a huge fan.

6 posts. 6. You've got more downvotes than you do posts. You should quit while you're ahead.

So Baton Rouge is only kind of pro-business now?
