Description:
Gentilly Landfill is located in New Orleans, Louisiana. This organization primarily
operates in the Sanitary Landfill Operation business / industry. Its solid waste
management falls under the refuse disposal system.

Endangered Species:
As per the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Orleans Parrish currently has two species on
the threatened and one on the endangered species list. (Manatee, West Indian /
Sturgeon, Atlantic / Sturgeon, Pallid)

Controls:
1.) All trucks will be registered with the State of Louisiana as commercial solid waste
transport vehicles.
2.) Most catch basin waste is of acceptable quality for landfills. If it is suspected that a
catch basin waste contains hazardous material, RAMJ will immediately notify Royal
Engineering staff who will then notify the proper Louisiana Department of Environmental
Quality (LDEQ) personnel for proper disposal action.
3.) A stabilization pond will be used on location, at the Gentilly site to separate the storm
drain water from the sand and silt primarily being removed from the basins. The
stabilization pond will be an aerobic process allowing the water to evaporate or infiltrate
through the bottom of the stabilization pond. The pond will be surrounded by a clay
berm with two to three feet of freeboard as protection against overflow during periods of
heavy rainfall. The pond will be constructed and maintained by Gentilly personnel. All
other specifications will be agreed upon between LDEQ and the City of New Orleans.

Best Management Practices (BMPs):

1.) Inspections of both trucks and offloading facility.
2.) Separation of foreign objects such as trash, tires, C&D materials before offloading.
3.) Communication through proper notifications of supervisors and stakeholders.
4.) Driver and labor training.
5.) Documentation through photographic evidence.
6.) Exercising the decanting process when feasible.
