>From the T-P online:


The EPA's initial sediment testing in September and October turned up 160
sites with contaminants, including cancer-causing toxins arsenic and
benzo(a)pyrene, and petroleum products blamed in liver and kidney disease.
That number was later winnowed to the 14 under review in Lakeview, eastern
New Orleans, the 9th Ward, Gentilly, Chalmette, Poydras and Meraux.

Does the Parish or anyone have a link to EPA or info on where these sites in
Meraux and Poydras are? Would like to see info on Poydras area.

Thanks,
Jim York
