    I noticed a new public range is being built in Plaquemine. Does anyone have more information on it?

    Also... from a safety standpoint, are public ranges considered to be as safe as private? I would think so, but maybe some of you have more experience/knowledge than me.

    It just hit me that I've been seeing the construction on this range for the last year and didn't realize what I was seeing. On the west side of LA1, south of the new water treatment facility they have been constructing some "levees" in the middle of what used to be a cane field. I always pass by this area and every time I see the levees I've wondered what they were for, but it makes sense now.

    For those of us that don't know, where id the new water treatment facility? And better yet, where exactly is this new range?

    Headed south on La 1, south of Plaquemine city limits across La1 from the big school (that is on your left), access road is across from the school; have to cross the rr tacks to your right; I'll go check it out in a couple of days
