WASTE PITS

with paper Wegjztfm
waste from a paper plant
in Pasadena. Among the
waste were some of the
worst pollutants possible:
lead, mercury, PCBs, and
dioxin.
Because of. subsidence
in the soil and a change in
the rivers path the pits be-
gan leaking, contaminat-
ing the river and the fish
that swim in it. This led
to a fishing advisory being
implemented in the 1990s
that remains in place to
this day.
In 2007, Congressmen
Gene Green and Ted Poe
petitioned the EPA to
recognize the area as a
superfund site. The site
was placed on the EPA’s
National Priorities List in
2008.
In 2011, a cap was in-
stalled on the waste pits
but was damaged during a
relatively minor storm in

July of 2012.
The companies respon-
sible for the pit are push-
ing to expand the exist-
ing cap and making it a
v srmanent containment
structure, leaving the tox-
ic waste in place and mon-
itoring to ensure there is
no future leakage.
The companies point
out the cost and the fact
that any removal may
release some of the tox-
ins into the environment.
They also believe that
the tens of thousands of
trucks with toxic waste
being transported across
roadways will cause its
own hazards.
Director of the San Ja-
cinto River Coalition, Jac-
quelyn Young disagrees
with making the cap a
permanent containment
structure.
“The waste pits are at
an incredibly vulnerable
location and as professor
Sam Brody ofTexas A&M
University, the waste pits
are a loaded gun in terms
of a catastrophe occur-
ring,” Young said.
Brody’s report found
that “the position of the
site close to the mouth of
Galveston Bay is espe-
cially problematic from
a storm surge standpoint.
Tropical and extra-tropi-
cal storm events can push
water from the Gulf of
Mexico into Galveston
Bay where the highest
tidal depths'occur at the
mouths of major rivers
and freshwater inflow ...
A major flood in 1994
caused the San Jacinto
River to rise by near-
ly 27 feet... These large
rainfall events can easily
submerge the waste pits,
causing them to overtop
their levees and possibly
spill contaminants into the
San Jacinto River.”
Brody concludes that
the Site’s toxic wastes
should be permanently re-
moved from this vulnera-
ble site, so that the public
and environment are not
threatened by tidal surges.
