EPA weighs full removal of San Jacinto River Waste Pits
The EPA and partners consider removing 152 000 cubic yards from the northern pits at a cost of about 87 million and 13 300 truck trips to an off site facility while some residents warn of water risks and urge immediate cleanup. Remaining cap has a long history of maintenance and recent erosion prompts action.
