Disaster response
Hurricane Katrina
impacted twenty parishes across Southern Louisiana, residential and
commercial areas were left in a state of physical disarray. Hazardous
debris covered neighborhoods and towns, sewage systems were destroyed,
and building structures crushed. GEO, under subcontract to Weston
Solutions, the USEPA START contractor, assisted in the development and
implementation of plans to address hazardous debris removal, orphan
container recovery, white goods collection and processing, site
sampling, marsh operations, and data management. GEO personnel provided
field and technical support in the management and operation of hazardous debris collection and processing. In 2005 and 2006, GEO supported Hurricane Katrina response
efforts in the collection, inventory and processing of over two million
household hazardous waste items in New Orleans and surrounding areas. |
