🚨 MYTH BUSTERS: LIT’s Environmental Review 🚨
In the second installment of Myth Busters, Port NOLA Chief Engineer Officer Chris Gilmore breaks down the extensive environmental review behind the project.
Since submitting its permit application in 2021, LIT underwent nearly five years of independent federal and interagency review, supported by more than 65 environmental, engineering and community-impact studies examining potential impacts to water quality, flooding, air quality, traffic, rail, wildlife, navigation and more.
The result? A Finding of No Significant Impact and a permit with enforceable conditions for construction and operations.
Watch as Chris separates the facts from the myths surrounding LIT’s environmental review. ⚓️
