The Bayou Sorrel National Priorities List Site is located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana, 6 miles northwest of the community of Bayou Sorrel. The population near Bayou Sorrel is a seasonal one. Fishing, hunting, and vegetable gardens provide a large portion of the diet for many of the inhabitants in the area. The waste types disposed of at Bayou Sorrel included process wastes from pesticide and herbicide manufacture, sulfide-containing wastes, and spent wash solutions from boiler cleaning. The Record of Decision signed November 1986 mandated several remedial actions which included installation of: a runoff control system; caps meeting Resource Conservation and Recovery Act specifications; a sand/geofabric drainage layer and collection system; a gas ventilation system; slurry walls around the former landfill area and Pond 4; a fence around all capped areas; and a ground-water monitoring system.
