Laidley LLC air permit (LDEQ 2460-00035-01) — Sierra Club challenge

Richland Parish

LDEQ approved a minor-source air permit for Laidley LLC in July 2025 covering 31 emergency diesel generators, then approved a January 14 amendment adding 44 natural gas water boilers operating 24/7 on June 6, 2026. The permit lists 96.83 tpy NOx and 98.94 tpy CO — just under the 100 tpy major-source threshold. The Sierra Club argues that excluding diesel-generator emergency hours and Entergy's ten turbines understates emissions and that the facility should be permitted as a major source. Laidley is a real estate entity holding a 20% share.

First parish data center regulations

St. Charles Parish (statewide comparator)

St. Charles Parish's council unanimously adopted Louisiana's first parish-level data center zoning regulations: a 55 dB limit measured at property lines adjacent to residential and other noise-sensitive areas, backup-generator testing restricted to weekdays 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., a 300-foot setback from residential districts, schools, day cares, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and parks, and a 25-foot landscape buffer adjacent to those uses. Data centers using on-site power generation in normal operation are limited to M-2 heavy industrial districts. Additional noise measures — independent pre- and post-construction engineering studies, low-frequency analysis, and authority to withhold operating approval until compliance is proven — were discussed for possible later adoption.

Key data: 55 dB at property line; generator testing weekdays 7am–6pm; 300-ft setback; 25-ft buffer

Bossier's code separately requires a 72-hour continuous background sound-level noise survey at the most impacted regulated receiver for planning and permitting.

Key data: No numeric dB cap; standard = ambient street/traffic noise at the boundary; 72-hour background noise survey required

Cumulative gas build-out for data center load

Richland Parish and statewide

The cumulative picture in Richland Parish alone is 5,170 MW of requested generation across six queue positions, layered on Entergy's statewide request for more than 5,200 MW of new gas combined cycle (plus 2,262 MW already approved in August 2025), roughly 240 miles of new 500 kV transmission, and an estimated 26 million tonnes of CO2 per year — all in a parish with fewer than 20,000 residents and a 26.4% poverty rate. Emissions from Meta's own Laidley permit sit just below the 100 tpy major-source threshold while Entergy's ten turbines are permitted separately, a permit-splitting pattern that parallels the Richmond County, NC structure.

Key data: 5,170 MW requested in Richland Parish; >5,200 MW new gas CC statewide; ~26 Mt CO2/yr estimated; Laidley at 96.83 tpy NOx vs 100 tpy threshold
