Contamination persists at CECOS site in Louisiana
Three years after a permit fight, the CECOS waste site near Interstate 12 remains a contamination concern. Groundwater monitoring shows traces of trichloroethane at low parts per billion levels in a 26 to 32 foot shallow zone, with ongoing post closure monitoring across over 100 wells. State and local officials note continued containment efforts, consent decree cleanups, and year-by-year leachate removal totaling nearly 300,000 gallons through March 1993, with deep injection offsite in Lake Charles.
