Will there be an increase in truck traffic or dust in nearby neighborhoods during construction of the new plant?
Construction traffic will use main streets, avoiding neighborhood streets. Standard construction safeguards will be implemented to minimize dust during demolition, ensuring it remains confined to LUS property.
Will there be noise from the new power plant?
Some operational noise will occur after construction, but it will meet all local, state, and federal noise requirements.
Will the proposed plant cause foul odors?
The plant will not produce odors. Natural gas is odorless, though an odorant is added for safety, similar to household natural gas use.
How will this affect the health of people who live or work near the proposed plant?
LUS is committed to protecting the health of employees, customers, and the surrounding community.
What are the health effects of natural gas generation?
Burning natural gas produces fewer emissions, including carbon dioxide, than coal or petroleum, contributing to cleaner air and improved environmental outcomes.
