Contaminated Waste and Sediment Remediation at Bailey Superfund Site
Originally part of a tidal marsh between a lake and river near the Texas/Louisiana border, the Bailey Superfund site is an "orphan site" resulting from past waste disposal operations. In the 1950s, two ponds were constructed as part of a fishing camp by dredging the marsh and using the sediments to form dikes. Additionally, a variety of wastes including industrial waste, refinery waste, tarry sludge, municipal waste, and debris were used as fill material for two of the dikes.
