“…These conditions indicate a negative feedback loop, where the TT facility may act to accelerate the town's economic decline while the town's economic decline may have enabled the TT facility to expand its operations. This has been seen in other cases where environmental and social factors have interacted to exacerbate local social and environmental conditions (Hornik et al 2016;Marjadi et al 2021).…”

This study investigates environmental justice themes related to siting a hazardous waste treatment facility near a low-income community of color. Using oral history interviews, we investigated effects from living in proximity to a hazardous waste thermal treatment site through three aspects of environmental justice: recognitional, procedural, and distributive justice. The study involved the collection of oral history interviews from residents of Colfax, a town in Grant Parish, Louisiana which hosts an open burn/open detonation hazardous waste thermal treatment facility. The facility processes materials such as munitions, theme park waste, and contaminated soils from Superfund sites, and it increased its volume drastically in 2014. Local residents reported adverse health conditions and environmental exposures to air pollutants. We analyzed how the three themes of environmental justice emerged from the interviews using the NVivo coding software. We recorded narratives that described substantial changes around people's identity, health and social experiences following the facility's increase in operations. Some residents stated that the community had not been consulted when the facility was established in 1980 or when its operations were increased. Our study considers the just sustainability framework when analyzing how the community's social and environmental ecosystem has been disrupted by the facility's operations.
