Today (5/15) several CRNA board members walked around a petition and a survey. The same will take place tomorrow. The target area is nearby residences, businesses, churches, and people on both sides of Leonidas, near SWB Carrollton plant. The petition states that the signer is concerned about the effects of the SWB industrial noise and pollution. The survey asks if the person is affected, how, and such.
The aims are to (1) get documentation that people ARE affected and ARE concerned (whether they are personally affected or not) and (2) let people know that their voices are being amplified and (3) encourage people to contact us, attend meetings, or just email us their experiences.
It is disturbing how many of the people we spoke with today are affected and yet have not been reached out to about this.

SWB T4 (turbine 4) was supposed to start up again, or at least be installed, on 9 May. SWB has been testing it since then, perhaps delayed a bit by the troubles that caused our most recent boil-water advisory, I don’t know. They said Thursday that testing would continue through the weekend if necessary. The public has been told that the noise will be greatly reduced when it comes online.
Today, 15 May, we were told by Ghassan: “they are still relying on T1 and that ‘T4 tripped offline twice yesterday’.” He hopes that there is no need for the EMDs (diesel generators).

Melissa emailed Ghassan on 9 May to ask the status of the new turbine that was to come online 9 May. Below is his reply to her, LaToya, Joe G, and Ramsey:
“Good morning everyone, Turbine 4 is currently undergoing the final stages of testing. One additional part is being installed today to eliminate the need for the vacuum equipment and the noise it produces. While the machine is available for use, out of an abundance of caution, we are only operating it in a testing capacity until all assessments are complete. We anticipate recommissioning the machine this week and deem it fully operational.
Regarding Turbine 5, we are still on track to bring that machine on line by mid-June.”

YES, we will have our May CRNA meeting. 13 May at 6:30. I’ll share the Zoom link later, along with the agenda. Right now, I can say that Melissa will update us on the S&WB industrial noise saga, and Joe G will update us on, among other things, the City Council recently holding Entergy NOLA’s feet to the fire regarding the poorly-done load shedding on that very cold February night. We’ll also give updates about the 914 Dante St situation, and more.
