New Orleans, Louisiana
Project Site
Site Information
Street Landfill (ASL) Superfund Site is approximately ninety-five acres
and is located in the eastern section of the city of New Orleans,
Louisiana. Operations at the ASL began in approximately 1909 and continued
until the landfill was closedin the late 1950's. During the 1970's
through the late 1980's, approximately forty-seven acres of the site were
developed into a residential area. The remaining forty-eight acres are
currently undeveloped and covered with dense vegetation. Investigations
at the ASL site have indicated the presence of hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants at concentrations above background and or
regulatory levels. Subsequent to conducting a site Investigation (1986)
and an expanded Site Inspection (1993), the ASL sitewas proposed for
inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL). On December 16,1994, the
ASL site was placed on the NPL.
