[quote=Anonymous][quote]Attorney General Buddy Caldwell announced Friday the state had reached a deal to keep Ebola waste ashes out of a Lake Charles landfill.

Caldwell got a temporary restraining order to keep Texas incinerator Veolia Environmental Services from disposing of the ashes at Louisiana hazardous waste landfill run by Chemical Waste Management.

The ashes were all that remained of the incinerated belongings of Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of the Ebola virus in Dallas. Though the ashes posed no risk to humans, according to the Centers for Disease Control, Caldwell argued too many things were unknown about the virus to risk bringing it to Louisiana.

The agreement between Caldwell, Veolia and CWM states the ashes will not be transported to nor disposed in Louisiana. The TRO is dissolved.

"I am pleased today's agreement ends this chapter in the controversy of the transportation and disposal of Ebola waste," Caldwell said.

It wasn't immediately known late Friday evening where the ashes will be taken instead.

Caldwell got the restraining order on Oct. 13, the same day officials the waste management company announced it would not accept the ashes to avoid making "an already complicated situation, more complicated."[/quote]
