The Baytown City Council and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board discuss a joint resolution urging the EPA to select complete removal of toxins from the San Jacinto River Waste Pits. City officials say the pits must be moved to stop dioxin pollution while EPA timelines slip. The CCPD budget, including body cams and paperless citations, is also on the agenda.

EPA faces funding and remedy questions over San Jacinto Waste Pits
At a legislative hearing representatives pressed the EPA on cleanup speed and funding for the San Jacinto River Waste Pits superfund site near Highlands and Channelview. Local officials note wells may exceed dioxin limits while EPA plans a long term remedy with public comment periods and potential removal options. The site, containing mercury PCB dioxins, was listed in 2008 with an armored cap installed in 2011 as a time critical measure.
