Summary
Ascension Parish’s two-year interim battle against toxic bauxite dust from the old LAlumina plant is ending — but the fight isn’t over. The parish covered 40+ acres with soil and equipment to shield nearby homes, keeping residents informed through neighborhood meetings. Now, LDEQ is stepping in to oversee LAlumina’s long-term cleanup, starting July 1, 2026. Though the parish’s role ends, they’re still ready to lend a hand — soil from their drainage projects is still available if needed. This effort has already made a major difference, cutting airborne dust and giving families breathing room — and a real path toward lasting relief.
