Harris County pushes EPA to shield waste pits after barge strike
Harris County prosecutors urge immediate protection around San Jacinto River waste pits as the EPA plans to remove 212,000 cubic yards of toxic material. They propose a cofferdam with concrete pilings, mooring improvements, and downstream relocation of barges to prevent releases during remediation. The EPA has not yet responded to these safety measures.
