Containment Levee Project
On October 25, 2023, the Office of Conservation ordered (item 3.i) Westlake to create "a plan to construct a containment structure around the potential affected area at the surface." That plan can be found here.

Construction of the containment structure is ongoing and expected to be finished in late 2025. Daily updates are provided by Westlake to LDENR, and they can be found in the "Daily Reports" section of the menu above.
