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.
The treatment of previously excavated soils using a specialized chemical application continued during the reporting period. As of the end of the reporting period treatment operations have resulted in 1,349 cubic yards of treated excavated soil. The treatment of all soils excavated to date is complete.
Commence excavations of grids on the western portion of the site beginning on the south.
