Residents and the Louisiana Bucket Brigade have raised concerns over a proposed CO2 pipeline extending from Ascension Parish to Livingston, Louisiana. Opponents argue the project threatens conservation efforts and community safety, advocating for preservation of the area for recreational use.

Supporters claim the pipeline is essential for reducing emissions and maintaining competitiveness in the energy sector. Construction linked to a new ammonia plant in Modeste has caused local residents to voice worries about disruptions and safety. The pipeline's developer, Enbridge, asserts prioritization of safety and environmental protections.
