Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

An EPA/Louisiana DEQ investigation documented the PAB Oil & Chemical Service site, an abandoned 9.4-acre oilfield-waste disposal area just north of Abbeville. 1985 sampling found barium, chromium, lead, manganese, and volatile organics (ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, acetone) in waste pits at the site. Three Abbeville city wells within three miles of the site supply drinking water for roughly 18,000 people, and private wells within three miles serve about 2,100 more, making it a documented nearby pollution source, though the city's current tap water has been reported in compliance with federal standards.
