Groups fault Louisiana over late, lenient pollution enforcement in Lake Charles

Original: Groups criticize state for late, lenient pollution enforcement in Lake Charles

Environmental groups are criticizing Louisiana regulators for delayed and weak enforcement of pollution rules in Lake Charles, an industrial hub in the state's petrochemical corridor. The criticism, reported by the Louisiana Illuminator, contends the state has responded too slowly and too softly to violations affecting the area's air and water. The complaints add to long-standing scrutiny of industrial pollution in southwest Louisiana.

Why now: Environmental advocates have publicly accused the state of failing to act promptly and firmly on pollution violations in Lake Charles.
