Site Description

The Kriger Battery removal site is located in Greenwood, Caddo Parish, Louisiana on commercial/industrial zoned property.  The site is a former battery reclamation facility that operated between 1972 and 1982 and consisted of a processing building, acid neutralization pit, and hammer mill area.  Historical sampling conducted by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ)shows on-site lead concentrations as high as 112,660 mg/kg.  Elevated lead concentrations have been located off-site on adjoining properties and drainage paths.  


Current Activities

Transportation and disposal of excavated soils from the eastern grids was completed.  The total approximate volume of generated waste transported off site to date is 1,380 cubic yards (69 truck loads totaling 1,638.12 tons).

Excavations on the site's western portion were continued, accounting for approximately 352 cubic yards of excavated soils.  Excavated soils were treated, sampled, and staged in anticipation of the second round of transportation and disposal.


Planned Removal Actions

Complete excavation and treatment of EPA grids on the western portion of the site during the next reporting period.

Commence and complete transportation and disposal of all remaining EPA generated waste prior to July 1.


Next Steps

Initiate LDEQ-sponsored removal actions on the site, beginning on the eastern portion of the site and working westerly.


Key Issues

LDEQ signed the Removal Action Contract on June 11, 2009 to conduct further removal action beyond the EPA scope of work.
