| Description/Abstract | The Bayou Bonfouca site, located in Slidell, Louisiana, is an abandoned creosote wood treating facility formerly called the American Creosote Works plant. Contamination of soils, sediments, surface water, groundwater, and the biota of the bayou has resulted from past operating methods and/or disposal practices. The main contaminants of concern are the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) that compose creosote. Based on available data, the Bayou Bonfouca site is categorized as a public health hazard because of extensive soil, sediment, biota, surface water and groundwater contamination. |
