Tangipahoa River Oil Spill

Following the explosion and subsequent fire at Smitty’s Supply in Roseland on August 22, black, oily runoff containing unknown chemicals has seeped into the Tangipahoa River, raising serious concerns about long-term environmental damage and potential repercussions for Lake Pontchartrain. The contaminants, which emit an odor similar to asphalt, became visible over 40 miles downstream within just a few days of the incident. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is leading cleanup efforts, deploying more than 14,000 feet of oil spill containment boom and thousands of absorbent pads. However, local residents and environmental groups argue that these containment boom systems are primarily designed for oil and are failing to contain the hazardous mixture of chemicals, firefighting foam, and oily residue that is leaking into the river. Black, tar-like substances have been spotted washing ashore, coating logs and vegetation along the banks.

How Refineries Can Prepare for Hurricane Season

Hurricane season has officially begun, and the need for preparation is here, not just for families and cities, but also for refineries, chemical plants, and other industrial operations located near the coast. Storms do not wait, and when they hit, they bring more than just wind and rain. Flooding, power outages, floating debris, and hazardous spills can quickly turn into environmental disasters if proper precautions and response strategies are not in place. According to the NOAA, they project that this hurricane season can produce between 13 and 18 storms, of which 5 to 9 are likely to reach hurricane strength; this includes 2 to 5 storms reaching a Category 3 rating or higher.
