- An LNG terminal wants to discharge wastewater into Cameron waters. Residents demand transparency.
Residents and local officials in Cameron Parish are frustrated over a lack of transparency from Venture Global during a public hearing on a permit to discharge wastewater from its proposed Calcasieu Pass 2 LNG facility into the Calcasieu Ship Channel. The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) is considering the permit, which would allow discharges of various wastewater types into waterways used for commercial and recreational fishing. Environmental advocates warn regulators should apply stricter scrutiny due to the company's history of environmental violations.
