Title: Objection to P20180767 P20191180
South Louisiana Methanol requires complex justification for
port and industrial site body: Save Our Park!
South Louisiana Methanol has not conducted an alternatives
analysis for wetland sites, nor a complex port and industrial justification.
South Louisiana Methanol cannot be permitted without these
environmental and economic analyses.
There is no need to eliminate the only park in District 5 St
James Parish Louisiana when a competing Methanol plant is being built a couple
miles away. South Louisiana Methanol has no economic justification given the
new economic changes and demand reduction of fossil fuels, in the short and
long term. South Louisiana Methanol must outline what business it will remove
from other methanol exporters in Louisiana, including the one next door. South
Louisiana Methanol must describe how it’s PM 2.5 and other pollution will
increase the death rate in St James. Otherwise, Louisiana cannot conduct a cost
benefit analysis of any sort. There is no wealth but our health.
South Louisiana must
conduct a hydrologic review to determine for how long and at what volumes fill
of these wetlands will block drainage to and within St James canal, which has
not been improved. St James is full! LDNR must hold a public hearing to
understand how South Louisiana Methanol and Formosa interact to block traffic
on Highway 18 and Highway 3127, eliminating DOTD evacuation routes completely
in the area.
Access to health care will be eliminated during this
pandemic should these permits proceed. Clean Water Act permits cannot be issued
until the government addresses these questions.
