The city denied the request in June, citing the removal of storage tanks from the property in 2005. The business then applied to rezone the property from R-1 to Industrial. Port of Texas owner Kenneth Berry attended the meeting and expressed frustration "I don't want to give up $15 million of property so people feel good That's not how business works," Berry said at the time Your whole purpose in buying the property was to clean it up and sell it to somebody." Long added "Your purpose is to add value to the property and sell it to somebody who's actually going to do that." Long was the only member of the council who voted against the motion to deny the rezoning "The City's denial of Plaintiff's (Port of Texas LP) zoning request denied Plaintiff of all economically beneficial or productive use of its property."

According to the project website the companies plan to build two production trains with a total capacity of up to 2.8 million metric tons of ammonia per year If Project YaREN receives the necessary approvals the production facility will be located at the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center located east of Ingleside on the Bay facing the mouth of Corpus Christi Bay The ammonia would be exported by sea and used in the production of fertilizers and other industrial applications An estimated 95% of the carbon dioxide generated during the production process would be captured and transported off site and stored in geologic storage in South Texas In January, the Ingleside City Council denied an objectionable use permit for the facility after hearing concerns from community members. After the January meeting, Enbridge and Yara shared a letter of apology with the city, which the city has shared online. The letter apologized for the tone of the presentation and pledged additional transparency the companies are still pursuing the ammonia facility the project is in a community engagement phase "The project still relies upon having that local community engagement and approval to proceed," project manager Tarek Shaaban said During the objectionable use permitting process last year it became "very evident" that the community had concerns and questions Project YaREN representative and Enbridge Manager of Stakeholder Engagement Ally Root said Thursday president of the Ingleside by the Bay Coastal Watch Association including whether a carbon capture pipeline is safe for the community and whether the project will actually be able to capture as much carbon dioxide as advertised as well as whether the project will result in harmful emissions Enbridge does not currently have any air monitors on site Company representatives did not say where exactly captured carbon would be stored but they said a third-party specialty company would be involved "I'm not supportive of the plant at all," Tim Doty said holding a protest sign outside the meeting "It's too close to the communities in the downwind sector whether it's an accidental release or an emergency release or just typical emissions Doty is working with the Ingleside on the Bay Coastal Watch Association He is a retired Texas Commission on Environmental Quality employee who managed the mobile air monitoring program for 17 years Doty said that the TCEQ permitting process is based on modeling and self-reported emissions data as opposed to real-life situations "My experience and knowledge tells me this is a dangerous plant," Doty said According to materials from the open house ammonia manufactured at the facility will be stored as liquefied gas at cold temperatures which the company says minimizes the risk of the product becoming vaporized and airborne The company plans to "meet or exceed" state and federal regulatory requirements About 15% of the project cost will go toward safety and environmental features "There's no room for ammonia," Ingleside on the Bay resident Ken Willis said "I see no reason to bring in two foreign countries to ruin our atmosphere." Lynne Porter lived in Ingleside for 15 years before moving to Ingleside on the Bay five years ago "I don't want an ammonia plant anywhere near our city," Porter said the ammonia production facility would create 200 permanent jobs Protesters were also concerned about another industrial facility being built in the direction where winds blow in from the bay Cyndi Valdes lives within a mile of the Enbridge property in Ingleside on the Bay "Nobody has shared any sort of safety plan for the residents of Ingleside or Ingleside on the Bay," Valdes said Root said that the project is in the early stages of development and emergency response plans will be built in coordination with local emergency responders Several of the protesters Thursday also had concerns about how much water the project will consume and where that water will come from the project will use seawater from the La Quinta Channel for recirculating cooling and heating systems Project YaREN representative Austin Taylor said that Yara has successfully used seawater before Most of the sea water will be used untreated but about 10% of the water will be demineralized and treated Taylor said that water released back into the environment will meet "stringent" salinity and temperature requirements in order to prevent impacts to the bay The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is set to hold a public meeting on the company's application for air quality permits to authorize the construction of blue ammonia production trains Thursday at the Portland Community Center in Portland Coastal Bend parents advocate for phone-free schools, youth internet protections County commissioners give notice to proceed for rebuilding of Bob Hall Fishing Pier Who wins in industrial agreements?

The Texas high school softball playoffs are off and running Fifteen Corpus Christi-area schools are still playing going into the area round of the playoffs Robstown and Ingleside and San Diego and Hebbronville clash in all-Coastal Bend series this week while heavyweights Veterans Memorial Calallen and Santa Gertrudis Academy are still alive Here is a look at the playoff pairings for Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend Game 3: 30 minutes after Game 2 (If necessary) all games at Vernie and Blanche Hubert Field Glimmering white light strands wrapped around majestic oaks all along Ingleside Drive create a magic Christmas holiday treat for drivers in the neighborhood Neighbors have been lighting the live oaks on the two blocks between Claycut Avenue and Woodside Drive for the past five years Neighbors have been lighting the live oak trees lining Ingleside Drive with white lights for the holiday season for the past five years The lights are usually turned on about 6 p.m each night between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day Neighbors decorate their live oaks with glimmering white light strands all along Ingleside Drive create a magic Christmas holiday treat for drivers in the neighborhood Live oaks lining Ingleside Drive are decorated with white lights during the holiday season Neighbors come together to decorate the street which stretches between Claycut Avenue and Woodside Drive The lights on a live oak reflect in a puddle along Ingleside Drive neighbors decorate the trees  lining the street with lights The lights are usually turned on about 6pm each night of the holiday season The white lights wrapped around the live oaks lining Ingleside Drive are enough to rival any winter wonderland snow during the 2023 Ingleside Drive Christmas celebration "We had a snow machine last year," she said And that's really what the holiday celebration on Ingleside has been about for the last five years — neighborhood fun It isn't specifically coordinated by one person or even a committee the gathering is simply neighbors coming together to light up their neighborhood then staging a large get-together the Saturday before Christmas many of whom make a special effort to drive down Ingleside Drive between Thanksgiving and New Year White lights cover all the live oaks lining the street's two blocks between Claycut Avenue and Woodside Drive in Baton Rouge creating the magical feel of a Christmas movie "It's just something that started when our neighbors They were outside putting lights up on their trees and their tree and our tree kind of met across the street The Barnetts were using a lift to place the lights as high as possible borrowed the lift and matched the height of the Barnetts' lights "We were up and down in the lift putting lights on the trees and we kept going with more and more and more lights," Talbot said when the across-the-street neighbors decided to have a small celebration of the lights and the season "They started decorating their trees," Talbot said but the Talbots' new across-the-street neighbors "They actually lived down the street from us and bought the house from the Barnetts," Talbot said but everyone still puts their lights as high as their ladders will allow and we still have our lights meet in the middle." The Talbots also have added inflatable holly balls to their arch of lights to welcome drivers to the neighborhood the neighbors are always talking among themselves The trees are generally decorated on individual timetables thought most start lighting up around the same time for the holiday season "We have a progressive dinner in this neighborhood during the spring This is just an opportunity to bring everyone in on it." Neighbors furnish refreshments and hot chocolate along with catering from Mestizo Louisiana Mexican Cuisine We have musicians who usually play for a couple of hours everybody kind of hangs out on the street visiting and stopping by It's not a not a big deal in that it's nothing that's super planned out and we choose to keep it that way so that it doesn't get into having to have a lot of meetings." Talbot hasn't kept up with the number of lights that illuminate the street each Christmas Along with the tree that meets the neighbors' the Talbots wrap lights around two others in their yard "I would say 80% of the houses on our streetlight up their trees," Talbot said Email Robin Miller at romiller@theadvocate.com Email notifications are only sent once a day News Tips:newstips@theadvocate.com Other questions:subscriberservices@theadvocate.com
