San Jacinto pollution blamed on boaters and dredging
Texas Parks and Wildlife official Ernest Marsh says river pollution and ecological damage on the San Jacinto River is caused by both citizens and dredging operations. He cites erosion from high powered boats, septic dumping near the banks, and three major dredgers active for decades. A field study from Lake Houston Dam to the Houston Ship Channel is nearly finished, with permits halted since November and a final report expected soon.
