On 11 May 2005, OSC Fisher contacted LDEQ and was provided with the following site update. According to LDEQ, the daughter has gone to court and obtained power of attorney for her mother. The daughter has performed transportation and disposal (T&D) on the containers found outside the house, performed general cleanup of the yard and also secured the house. The daughter is now in the process of obtaining additional funds to cleanup the inside of the house and bring the property up to code, so it can be sold. The daughter is coordinating with the St. Tammany Parish and LDEQ officials.
