Smitty’s Supply Inc. in Roseland, Louisiana, began discharging treated stormwater into a highway ditch on February 6, 2026, under a temporary emergency permit from the LDEQ, but without required approvals from the DOTD or Department of Health.
该水与8月石油罐爆炸产生的污染物混合在一起,由一家第三方公司处理,通过了毒性测试。

排放还在继续,沟渠明显变色,在监管不确定的情况下,没有颁布任何惩罚措施。
Discharges continue, with visible discoloration in the ditch, and no penalties have been issued amid ongoing regulatory uncertainty.
