Louisiana State: Don't bring waste from Ebola victim's personal items here
State: Don't bring waste from Ebola victim's personal items here
WWLTV.com 3:07 p.m. CDT October 13, 2014
BATON ROUGE, La. - A judge on Monday afternoon granted state Attorney General Buddy Caldwell's request for a temporary restraining order to block the disposal of incinerated waste from the Dallas Ebola victim's personal items and belongings at a Louisiana landfill.
It has been reported that six truckloads of potential Ebola contaminated material collected from the apartment where the Dallas Ebola victim became ill were brought to Port Arthur, Texas on Friday to be processed at the Veolia Environmental Services incinerator. From there the incinerated material is slated to be transported to a hazardous waste landfill in Louisiana for final disposal.
Caldwell said the unknowns involved surrounding the Ebola virus have the state wanting to proceed with caution.
"We certainly share sadness and compassion for those who have lost their lives and loved ones to this terrible virus, but the health and safety of our Louisiana citizens is our top priority," he said. "There are too many unknowns at this point, and it is absurd to transport potentially hazardous Ebola waste across state lines.This situation is certainly unprecedented and we want to approach it with the utmost caution. We just can't afford to take any risks when it comes to this deadly virus."
The Louisiana Attorney General's Office filed an application for a temporary restraining order, which a judge granted Monday afternoon.
Additionally, the office is sending a demand letter to Texas state and federal officials, along with private contractors involved seeking additional information into the handling of this waste. Caldwell's office is in contact with Louisiana health and environmental agencies involved in the matter.
Despite the temporary restraining order's being granted, Chemical Waste Management, Inc., the Lake Charles facility where the incinerated waste was headed, notified the Veolia Environmental Port Arthur, that it has would not accept the material.
