Odessa hazardous waste disposal well faces objections and spill history
Neighboring property owners may object to CECOS permit triggering a Odessa public hearing. The well near southeast Odessa is the only site in West Texas for disposal of hazardous liquid wastes into San Andres limestone at depths of about 4900 to 5750 feet. Wastes include Class 1 solvents acids caustics and other toxic compounds pumped under pressure. A February spill released about 200 gallons of mostly salt water with trace hexachlorobutadiene and dichlorobutene and contaminated soil was removed. Officials say formations contain wastes and no water table pollution occurred though odor incidents occurred from mercaptan.

New Waste Rule Reduces Monthly Hazardous Dump Load
The Texas Public Works Association information sheet notes a new law lowers the hazardous waste hauled to state approved dumps from 1,000 kilograms per month to 100 kilograms per month. The new 100 kilogram limit alters waste disposal requirements for facilities handling hazardous materials.

Waste disposal rules outline monthly thresholds and forms
The information sheet estimates that the waste would fill about half a 55 gallon drum. Businesses producing wastes below that amount may continue disposal at approved landfills. Beginning in August, producers over 100 kilograms monthly must file material descriptions, use authorized trucks, and accept liability for end destination.
