REFERENCE Application #: MVN-2021-00270-ESG

 Please accept this letter as a response to the December 16, 2024 Public Notice related to the 

above permit application.

 Please accept this letter as a formal request for:

 1. a public hearing related to the above permit application;

 2. an extension of the public comment period of at least ninety (90) days; and

 3. the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct an Environmental Impact Statement.

Given the magnitude and complexity of the wide-spread effects of the proposed Louisiana 

International Terminal, these requests are reasonable accommodations to allow the community to 

be able to fully and meaningfully participate in this process and have their voices heard.

 

Please take note of my formal objection to the permit application referenced above.  

Below are my top five specific objections to the proposed facility:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

There are many more objections to the proposed facility; however, due to time constraints and 

other limitations, I am submitting only my top five objections at this time.

 Sincerely,
