Abstract
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall along the Gulf coast of the southeastern United States, causing unprecedented damage from eastern Louisiana to near Mobile, Alabama, due to the high winds and storm surge. During the period from October 12 through October 14, 2005, personnel from the USEPA Region 4, Science and Ecosystem Support Division (SESD) collected sediment, surface water and groundwater samples in the vicinity of nine National Priorities List (NPL) and two non-NPL Superfund sites in the potentially affected region to determine if storm-related releases occurred or, in the case of sites with operating remedial systems, make determinations as to the functionality of these systems. The investigation was conducted according to the Quality Assurance Project Plan, Post-Katrina Site Evaluations, Southern and Coastal Alabama and Mississippi, October 2005 and was requested by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and the USEPA, Region 4, Waste Management Division.
