We
ask
that
you
bless
Parish,
president
quintmo,
all
council
members
and
all
who
serve
the
parish
in
employment,
bless
Ascension
Parish,
as
you
have
in
the
past,
and
we
are
so
thankful
for
all
the
blessings
you
impose
on
us.
We
ask
these.
You
know
in
the
name
of
your
son,
Jesus
Christ,
amen,
amen,
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
United
States
of
America
and
to
the
Republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation
under
God
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
A
C
A
C
A
And
it's
been
there
forever,
it's
been
there
for
my
lifetime,
but
we've
never
had
this
issue.
We've
never
had
this
problem
before
because
it's
followed
the
code
and
it's
followed
you
know
conform
to
to
the
safety
standard
it
should,
which
is,
it
should
be
wet.
It
should
be
watered
with
a
sprinkler
and
it
absolutely
should
not
be
over
the
top
of
the
Levee
the
levy.
At
some
points
you
can
see
the
Red
Dirt
20
to
30
foot
over
the
top,
not
watered
down.
A
A
And
us
as
a
parish
we're
very
limited
to
what
we
can
do
here,
but
we
can
do
a
lot
still.
What
our
goal
tonight
is
just
to
have
a
resolution.
You
know
we'll
hear
from
y'all
get
some
some
opinions
from
my
fellow
council
members
and
possibly
see
if
the
council
can
draft
a
letter
to
peq
to
the
governor's
office.
You
know
to
any
federal
agency
that
could
help
us
to
enforce
this.
I
know
the
company
is
going
through
bankruptcy,
but
that
does
not
matter.
A
I
mean
the
property
is
still
owned
by
someone
somewhere
and
they're
still
responsible
for
it.
I
know
some
of
the
excuses
I've
heard
from
the
EQ
is
a
lack
of
finding
sprinkler
heads
but
I
mean
come
on,
get
a
host
pay.
You
know
you
don't
need
a
sprinkler
head.
You
don't
need
a
specific
one
until
then
that
that's
just
ridiculous.
D
D
this
red
dust
from
the
Mud
Lake
of
the
old
armad
facility.
As
you've
seen
on
the
pictures,
it
gets
pretty
bad
with
the
wind
storms.
I've
already
had
to
pressure
wash
my
house
three
times
this
year,
because
you
it
it
gets
sucked
into
your
eaves
on
on
your
house.
It
gets
stuck
to
the
stucco
to
The
Brick
whenever
it
rains,
you
get
the
pink
water
that
runs
down
inside
of
your
house
and
it
stains
it
and,
quite
frankly,
it's
a
it's
a
mess.
D
D
The
product
does
need
to
be
wet
and
they're,
not
taking
any
responsibility
and
taking
care
of
that,
but
it
is
causing
a
a
lot
of
disruption
in
the
neighborhood.
It's
it's
staying
in
a
lot
of
houses,
it's
on
side,
the
roads.
When
you
pass
down.
If
you
drop
down
22
on
the
shoulders,
you
can
see
the
trail
of
the
Box
site
down
the
road
it
gets
on
your
vehicles.
If
it
gets
in
your
vehicle,
it
stains
it.
You
can't
get
the
stains
out.
So
it's
it's
definitely
a
nuisance
to
the
parish.
A
E
It
is
full
of
minerals
that
are
vital
to
the
U.S
for
critical
minerals
within
the
United
States.
The
reason
it's
red
is
because
it's
55
percent
iron
that
goes
with
it,
an
iron
oxide.
We
believe
we
can
take
this
and
turn
this
into
a
useful
product
into
pig
iron
which
goes
into
the
electric
Arc
furnaces.
E
The
steel
that
you're
going
to
make
our
component
would
be
a
also
a
low
carbon
footprint,
so
it
would
provide
more
emphasis
for
green
steel.
Currently,
the
U.S
is
the
largest
importer
of
pig
iron
in
the
united
in
the
world
of
8
million
tons
a
year.
Six
of
that
million
tons
was
coming
from
the
Ukraine
and
from
Russia,
so
those
supplies
are
now
cut
off
from
there.
E
We
have
a
proprietary
process
that
has
been
developed,
Believe,
It
or
Not
beginning
many
years
ago,
in
Russia,
with
a
Russian
aluminum
called
called
Russo,
and
we've
taken
that
technology
we've
adapted
it
to
a
German
metallurgical
University,
to
run
the
work
there
to
take
a
rare
earth.
Out
of
it
called
Scandium,
that's
used
to
lightweight
Aerospace
and
space
vehicles
that
come
with
it,
and
then
we've
taken
that
now
we've
got
a
pilot
plant
and
a
chemical
lab
over
in
Lakeland
Florida.
E
Originally,
it
was
scheduled
for
here
and
there's
this
that
hurricane
came
through
and
we
had
to
take
an
Abrupt
turn.
We
plan
on
moving
the
pilot
plant
and
the
the
our
research
r
d
facility
late
this
year
early
first
quarter,
we've
got
an
option
on
the
land
at
Burnside
right
now,
we're
going
through
the
due
diligence
right
now
of
that.
So
you'll
see
folks
out
on
that
pond
testing
it
to
seeing
the
mineral
content
of
it
and
how
many
tons
are.
We
think
they're
Our
rough
estimate
is
there's
about
15
million
tons
of
material
there.
A
E
E
That
they
don't
know
the
version
of
the
concrete,
but
we've
had
numerous
conversations
with
cement
companies
up
and
down
the
Mississippi.
Yes,
as
coal-fired
power
plants
go
down,
the
waste
that
came
out
of
those
plants
was
what
was
providing
the
the
heavy
metals
and
the
aluminum
that
went
into
the
cement
industry.
So,
as
those
go
down,
they
need
a
new
supplement
and
the
alumina
could
could
from.
E
This
stuff
we're
looking
at
the
first
quarter,
25.
we've
hired
hatch
engineering,
we're
through
there's
three
series
of
Engineers
engineering
estimates
you
go
through.
We
just
went
through
the
first
FL
one,
the
economics
of
it
looked
very
good,
we're
working
on
out
off
take
agreements
as
well
with
the
major
steel
companies.
You
know
that
that
sit
within.
A
E
A
I
guess
what
I'm
getting
at
is
you?
You
seem
like
you're,
going
to
be
very
involved
with
the
project
and
with
the
property
and
whatever
you
could
do
to
help
us
expedite
the
process
to
deal
with
who
owns
it
until
then,
until
the
project
starts,
so
we
could
get.
You
know
water
on
it
and
get
everything
else.
E
That
would
be
absolutely
we've
already
talked
to
an
engineering
company.
That's
that's
good!
In
dust
abatement.
What
I
see
out
there
is
an
absolute
tragedy
from
the
industry
that
I'm
in
and
I
think
it
gives
the
whole
industry
a
black
eye,
sir.
We
would
we
would
put
the
dust
abatement
in
first.
We
will
not
be
perfect,
but
we
think
we
can
do
a
lot
better
than
that.
A
E
Absolutely
I'll
leave
my
card
with
it
and
I'm
happy
to
brief
yourselves,
the
community
at
any
time,
I'm
sure
they'll
have
a
lot
of
questions
and
I'm
sure
they've
had
a
lot
of
people
come
through
here,
but
we're
very
sincere
in
the
work
we're
doing
and
we're
very
excited
about
the
project
to
supply
critical
minerals
into
the
U.S
out
of
the
U.S,
so
be
happy
to
do
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
F
I've
been
a
resident
in
Pelican
Crossing
for
eight
years
now,
but
I've
lived
here.
My
whole
life
I
remember
this
plant
when
it
was
or
met.
I
knew
some
of
the
people
that
worked
out
there.
I
think
this
issue
has
gotten
worse
since
2011
or
2003
to
get
to
the
point
that
it
is
now
and
I.
Think
that's.
The
key
point
is
there's
not
an
active
agent
on
site.
Maintaining
this
I'd
be
tickled
for
somebody
to
actually
be
out
there
working
this
facility
and
maintaining
it
that
we
could
hold
to
account.
F
The
pile
has
gotten
well
above
the
levees,
as
you've
mentioned
sprinklers
aren't
going
to
stop
that
from
from
blowing
when
you
get
a
strong
enough
wind
we're
going
to
continually
have
it.
We've
mentioned
that
it's
been
in
the
roads
on
Highway
22.
I've,
heard
of
it
being
as
far
as
Sorrento
primary
I've
heard
that
it's
been
seen
from
the
sunshine
bridge
and
people
have
actually
commented
about
it
being
in
Donaldsonville.
F
G
I
guess
I'm
more
likely
to
know
more
about
Pelican
Crossing
than
anybody
in
this
room.
I
appreciate
y'all.
Finally,
taking
this
to
light
and
let's
try
to
get
something
done
about
it.
You
know
Mr
Robert,
if
you
remember,
when
you
first
got
elected
some
22
months
ago,
when
the
first
phone
calls
you
got
was
more
or
less
for
me
that
hey
we
got
a
problem
back
there
all
right
now,
it's
not
just
the
people
of
Pelican
Crossing
getting
dusted,
they're,
getting
it
the
worst,
because
it's
more
concentrated
right
there.
G
Last
week,
a
week
before
last,
Donaldsonville
was
getting
dusted.
More
ran,
subdivision
gets
dusted.
A
lot
I
remember
on
a
Sunday
I
had
a
conversation
with
Sheriff
Wally
when
he
was
Sheriff,
they
were
coming
from
church
and
they
were
getting
off
the
interstate
and
it
was
it
looked
like
a
smoke
cloud
coming
off
the
ramp
on
the
interstate.
It
all
depends
which
way
the
wind's
blowing,
but
the
problem
we
got
here.
It
would
be
wonderful
if
these
people
could
extract
this
stuff
out
of
here,
but
that's
not
going
to
fix
the
problem.
G
The
problem
was,
it
was
people's
livelihood
discounted
on
profit
and
overhead.
Those
sales
were
designed
and
they
were
strict
on
the
DEQ
regulations
to
be
a
certain
amount
of
capacity.
Certain
amount
of
free
board,
a
levy
above
the
product
where
it
could
stay
underwater
and
then
have
enough
freeboard,
for
if
we
had
a
seven
inch
rain,
it
didn't
overflow,
because
what
what
this
man's
not
telling
you
it's
got
iron
in
it.
It's
bauxite.
G
Not
only
is
it
stained,
it
eats
metal
up,
I
got
a
white
Charlie
boil
and
he
was
red.
You
know
if
you
walk
in
the
grass
out
there,
when
the
wind
blows
right
there,
your
shoes
get
red,
I
had
a
building
that
was
less
than
15
years
old
and
the
10
was
rotten
down
on
it.
It's
very
very
corrosive,
very
caustic,
and
this
was
the
the
last
people
that
owned
armett.
G
It
used
to
never
be
piled
above
the
Levee,
but
it
didn't
have
the
right
free
board.
To
my
knowledge,
it
only
overflowed
one
time
and
I
think
they
got
sanctioned
because
they
didn't
call
the
DQ
and
report.
It
they've
had
a
couple.
Levee
figures:
I,
don't
maybe
maybe
not
the
top
of
the
living
but
wall
failures.
G
But
it
would
only
dust
when
you,
maybe
in
July
August
when
you
had
a,
was
gonna,
have
a
bad
rain
like
your
mama,
had
to
go.
Take
the
clothes
in
off
the
line
right,
quick,
because
you
knew
it
was
coming
well,
because
the
the
residue
on
top
of
the
in
the
mud
Lake,
which
would
crack
up
just
like
you,
see
Old
Pond
drop
and
it
all
cracks
up,
and
it
would
only
blow
for
a
few
minutes
until
that
blew
away.
And
then
it
was
over.
But
now
these
last.
A
G
These
these
last
operators
of
ornament
have
hauled
stuff
back.
There
were
trucks,
you
know,
you
said
it
was
30
foot
high,
I,
don't
know
if
it's
quite
that
high,
but
this
might
be
10
12
foot
high
and
it
used
to
have
a
bunch
of
alumini
out
there
to
finish
finished
product
that
armored
made.
You
don't
see
it,
no
more,
it
don't
blew
away,
but
the
Box
site
blows
and
it
blows
and
it
blows,
and
it's
corrosive
and
tell
the
bottom
line.
Is
a
new
sale
needs
to
be
built.
G
I
know
they
tried
to
haul
some
bagass
from
the
Sugar
Mill
and
cap
it.
But
the
problem
arrives.
You
can't
get
on
top
of
it.
You
you
go
out
there.
They
put
Marsh
bug
out
there.
They
tried
to
sprinkle
it.
Deq
has
been
telling
me
for
20
years.
They
got
to
do
something
they
got
to
do
something
they
got
to
do
something
all
they
do
have
been
talking
about
it.
We
I
had
a
DEQ
guy
back
there
on
a
Sunday
and
he
said
they
can
blame
you
all.
They
want
for
you
being
a
disgruntled
neighbor.
G
My
car
got
full
of
it
when
he
was
riding
back
behind
a
deal.
The
wind
caught
him
in
Augusta
and
it
just
choked
him
out
this
was
it
needs
another
sale
built
cut
it
cut
to
whatever
they
got
to
do
to
get
it
down.
They
tried
to
sprinkle
it,
but
they
can't
use
fresh
water
to
sprinkle
it
because
then
it
will
overfill
the
pond.
G
A
You
appreciation:
that's
all
the
speakers
that
we
have
signed
up
if
anyone
else
would
like
to
just.
Let
me
know.
After
hearing
some
talk
and
after
talking
to
some
people
myself
as
the
the
council,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we,
we
can
only
do
so
much
as
the
parish
as
a
governing
Authority,
but
we
can
ask
for
help
from
these
different
agencies.
A
G
I
know
this
through
research
that
the
people
that
own,
that
you
know
there's
such
things
as
assets
and
liabilities.
The
assets
is
to
form
land
around
it.
It's
good
property,
they're,
transferring
that
property
into
different
entities
and
different
names.
Somebody
told
me
it
was
Sweden
known
corporations.
So,
if
you
don't
have
no
assets,
you
throw
your
hands
in
the
air
and
you
say
bankrupt
state
of
Louisiana,
you
own
it.
Now
you
fix
it.
That's.
