• Description:
  The August 29, 2005 landfall of Hurricane Katrina and the September 24, 2005 landfall of Hurricane Rita resulted in extensive flooding throughout southern Louisiana. Following the hurricanes, a number of National Priorities Listing (NPL) sites throughout southern Louisiana were visited and sampled. The objectives of these events were to identify any damage that these sites suffered from the hurricanes, to determine whether the remedial actions at these sites remained effective, and to determine whether any contaminant levels had increased at the sites following hurricane-related flooding.
  
  The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), in coordination with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ), sampled groundwater from two monitoring wells at the Old Inger Oil Refinery site. Through a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals/Office of Public Health/Section of Environmental Epidemiology and Toxicology (LDHH/OPH/SEET) has developed the following health consultation to review these groundwater samples. The primary goals of this document are to determine whether any contaminants that would pose a public health hazard had leached from residual soils into the site’s groundwater following Hurricane Katrina and to establish what further public health actions, if any, may be needed.
