EPA extends public comment period on San Jacinto Waste Pits Superfund Site

By November 22, 2016 Advocacy, News

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released its proposed plan to remediate the San Jacinto River Waste Pits Superfund site on Galveston Bay. The plan recommends a complete removal of the dioxin contaminated material from the site. “We are proposing to remove contaminated material and provide the community with the most protective cleanup plan for the San Jacinto waste pits site” stated the EPA Regional Administrator in a press release.

The EPA has extended the public comment period on their proposed plan to remove the wastes until January 12th.
