PPG Industries will soon begin creating wetlands along the Calcasieu River as the final phase of a project to remediate and reroute the water discharge canal at its Lake Charles facility. The initiative, which began more than a year ago, reroutes the plant’s water discharge point from Bayou d’Inde to the Calcasieu River and creates 20 acres of wetlands adjacent to the Interstate 210 bridge. “This phase of the project will benefit wildlife and fishery habitats in the area and create approximately 20 acres of marshy wetlands,” said Jon Manns, PPG Lake Charles works manager. Thousands of commuters who cross the Interstate 210 daily will be able to experience the greening of renewed wetlands.
