years from SI 3 million in

Hall said the college’s

“And we should target

“If we have a $50 million

BIBLE VERSE
Do not be anxious
about anything, but in
everything, by prayer
and petition, with
thanksgiving, present
your requests to God.
And the peace of God,
which transcends all
understanding, will guard
your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus.
— Philippians 4:6 7

ration) worked to repair the temporary
armored cap in the wake of the 500-year
storm event.
Those efforts are now complete, and the
two companies will perform additional
sampling, according to I PA spokesman
David Gray.
“Repairs to add armored rock to the cap
at San Jacinto Waste Pits carried shortly
after the sampling was conducted." Gray
said “All repairs are complete EPA has
directed the potentially responsible par-
ties to collect an additional seven samples
near the area where the high results were
found. They are doing that work now ”
After Harvey hit the region, the EPA’s
dive team took sediment samples from 14
areas at the San Jacinto River Waste Pits.
Of the 14 samples, one confirmed the pro-
tective cap had been damaged and under-
lying waste was exposed at a level 2,300
times recommended for cleanup
The temporary cap has needed repairs
nearly every year since it was installed in
2011 to contain toxic materials W ith an
unreliable cap. environmental activists
and residents living near the site want the
EPA to follow through with its proposed
plan to remove 202,000 cubic y ards of
contaminated material from the northern
and southern impoundments
Last year the EPA revealed a plan to re-
move a majority of the existing cap along
with 152.000 cubic yards of contaminat-
ed mataids. The remedy for the northern
site is estimated to take 19 months at a
