Commitment
At LACC, we
believe that our commitment to you, the environment and the communities where
we work never ends. Being a good corporate citizen means being a caring partner
in business and in the community.
For us, building
a better tomorrow will always be about people.
Economic Benefits
The LACC
project, with its $3 billion budget, will begin generating real economic
benefits to Southwest Louisiana long before ethylene production begins. These benefits include not
only full-time positions, but also the positive impact of higher employment and
productivity—increased demand for construction materials, transportation, fuel
and much more.
Projected Job Gains
Safety & The Environment
Transforming
Earth’s basic elements into the essentials that benefit our society is
important, but this work should never be more important than the Earth itself.
Environmental
stewardship and safety are core values at LACC. Our focus on sustainability began
in the planning stage of this project and will continue through to
production.
Environmental Assessment
In March of 2014, we submitted a
wetlands permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Goals of this application include:
- Minimize or avoid wetland
impacts.
- Confirm no presence of threatened or
endangered species.
- Protect existing cultural
artifacts/non-historical site.
- Protect drainage to adjacent
properties.
An air permit application was submitted to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality in February of 2015.
