BATON ROUGE, LA—Celebrating the finished project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, federal officials announced Monday that construction was finally complete on a canal connecting chemical runoff with the Mississippi River. “After 20 years in the making, the Phosphorous Canal will allow toxic waste chemicals to flow directly from nearby chemical facilities to the Mississippi River in half the time,” said U.S. Army Corps of Engineers chief engineer Lt. Gen. Scott A.

For too long, chemical runoff like phosphorus, nitrogen, and carbonyl sulfide has been forced to take the long way around through local soils before making it to the Mississippi. This project, first proposed decades ago, took hundreds of workers a couple decades to finally construct, but making chemicals from dozens of far-flung industrial sites flow straight into the Mississippi this efficiently is well worth the wait.
