Human exposure is NOT currently under control

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of August 2025, sufficient information was obtained during investigation activities to determine risks posed by contamination at the site. The EVR-Wood Treating/Evangeline Refining Company site is considered "Current Human Exposure Not Under Control" because there are risks to construction/maintenance workers and adolescent trespassers that are not under control. These include ingestion of surface soil, subsurface soil, and sediment containing predominantly Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and dioxin. The site is primarily heavily wooded in a rural area. EPA is working with the site owner to explore options to limit site access. Human exposure is anticipated to be under control upon completion of the remedial action as described in the record of decision, and the anticipated completion date for remedial action is September 2028. The remedial action entails capping of impacted areas, removal of debris, and installation of fencing after completion of remedial actions to limit site access.
