LDEQ issued all 15 permits pursuant to this single Decision. INTRODUCTION LDEQ’s Decision authorizing construction of Formosa Plastics’ Chemical Complex in District 5 of St. James Parish violates the (1) public trustee duty mandated by the Louisiana Constitution, (2) Clean Air Act (and state regulations implementing the Act), and (3) state statute requiring the agency to consider how its action will impact the Parish master land use plan. LDEQ is entrusted with making decisions that affect the environment—indeed, the very air that we breathe. As such, the Louisiana Supreme Court made plain that the agency “must act with diligence, fairness and faithfulness to protect this particular public interest in the resources.” 1 FG LA LLC, the entity to which LDEQ issued the Permits, is part of Formosa Plastics Group, a Taiwanese-based conglomerate.

Please note that this letter should be considered supplementary to PSI’s Report No. 02591524 issued on May 23, 2018, therefore, all the information and discussions offered in our original report remain valid. The foundations suitable for a given structure primarily depend on several factors including the subsurface conditions, the function of the structure, the loads it may carry, the cost of the foundation, and the criteria set by the Design Engineer with respect to vertical and differential movements which the structure can withstand without sustaining intolerable damage. Considering the preliminary nature of this study, neither detailed structural loading information nor grading plans were available at this time. The choice of the type of deep foundation system should be based on the tolerance criteria for the performance of the structures and economics of the construction. Grade supported foundations or surface coverings will likely be governed by the anticipated load and settlement tolerances, particularly where a significant amount of new fill is placed.

    Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority 150 Terrace Avenue, Baton Rouge, LA 70802 | [email protected] | www.coastal.la.gov Swamp Community Wetland Value Assessment PO-0029 River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp Date: June 2019 Prepared By: K. LaCour-Conant, K. Ramsey, K. Bollfrass River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp Swamp Community Wetland Value Assessment Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority This document was prepared in support of the PO-0029 River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp project by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA). The CPRA was established by the Louisiana Legislature in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita through Act 8 of the First Extraordinary Session of 2005. Act 8 of the First Extraordinary Session of 2005 expanded the membership, duties, and responsibilities of the CPRA and charged the new Authority to develop and implement a comprehensive coastal protection plan, consisting of a Master Plan (revised every 5 years) and annual plans. The CPRA’s mandate is to develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive coastal protection and restoration Master Plan, and while the River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp was first authorized in 2001 through the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA), the project has since been included in both the 2012 and 2017 Coastal Master Plans (001.DI.21), and received RESTORE Pot 2 Funds in 2017 to sustain project momentum.
