Health assessment for Petro-Processors of Louisiana Incorporated, Scotlandville, East Baton Eouge Parish, Louisiana, Region 6. CERCLIS No. LAD057482713. Preliminary report
The Petro-Processors of Louisiana, Inc. (PPI) Site, located in Scotlandville, East Baton Rouge Parish (county), Louisiana, is on the National Priorities List (NPL). The PPI Site consists of two separate locations: the Brooklawn Site and the Scenic Site. A Consent Agreement, negotiated with the generators, includes a tentative framework for developing a remedial plan. Release of contaminants into the air during remedial activities has halted remediation on the site. Until remedial action is taken at the site, concern for public health stems from: (1) the volatilization of contaminants during remedial activities, which could be a source of toxicant exposure for residents and workers; (2) ingestion of fish and wildlife contaminated with hexachlorobenzene and hexachlorobutadiene; (3) the potential of groundwater contamination from agents present on-site; and (4) dermal contact with contaminated sediments off-site.
