LAlumina Site Shutdown Moves Forward | Baton Rouge News
Description
Finally, the old LAlumina site in Ascension Parish is moving toward full shutdown after years of red dust plaguing nearby homes. Parish officials, state environmental experts, and LAlumina teamed up to seal the site permanently — starting with a temporary fix covering 40 acres to curb airborne dust. Parish President Clint Cointment emphasized community safety and transparency, noting ongoing dialogue with residents. The official closure, led by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, is set to begin soon — with the parish ready to supply soil from drainage projects if needed. This marks a major step toward ending a long-standing nuisance for local families.
