During the Remedial Investigation phase of the

A meeting is scheduled for February 10, 2015 to

at the Site.

HISTORY

For a number of years prior to 1986, the Delta
Shipyard Site operated as a boat and barge cleaning
and repair facility owned by Delta Ironworks. Oily
wastes from the cleaning operations were stored in
several unlined earthen pits at the site. These pits
were used as evaporation ponds and possibly used
to dispose of oil field drilling material. During the
1970s and 80s, the property changed hands through
several mergers and sales. In January 2012, the
Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality
asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for assistance in evaluating the site.

NPL LISTING

The EPA finalized the placement of the Delta
Shipyard Site (Site) on the National Priorities List
(NPL). The NPL is EPA's list of uncontrolled or
abandoned hazardous waste sites identified for
long-term cleanup under the federal Superfund
program. The Site was proposed to the NPL on May
12, 2014 and officially added September 18, 2014.
The Site is located at 200 Dean Court in southeastern
Houma, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.

Large volumes of waste remain on Site, and
hazardous substances were found in ground water,
surface water and soil. Wetlands surrounding the
Site are contaminated with metals and poly
aromatic hydrocarbons.
