The state of Louisiana is seeking public review of a major expansion of a nonhazardous industrial waste disposal facility located in southern Bossier Parish near Taylortown. HRWN Bossier submitted an application to modify a permit first issued by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality in 2021 by expanding its operations.

Expansion Details

The company intends to triple the facility’s on-site storage capacity of waste products, from 90,000 gallons to 290,000 gallons. The facility would accept three broad categories of waste for processing: industrial, commercial, and oil and gas operations. The facility would be approved to accept waste products from anywhere in the United States.

A public comment period is open until July 23, and a public hearing will be held if there is enough interest. Comments can be submitted online at deq.louisiana.gov/public-notices, by mail to LDEQ, Public Participation Group, P.O. Box 4313, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-4313, or by email to [email protected].
