Current Status
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Texas Department of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are collaborating with the potentially responsible parties (PRPs) regarding the Gulfco Marine Maintenance Superfund site to perform a remedial investigation to define the nature and extent of contamination at the site.
Following the investigation, a feasibility study will be done to evaluate alternatives for any necessary remediation.
EPA, TCEQ, and the
Environmental Resource Trustees reviewed the revised investigation and
feasibility study Workplan submitted by the PRPs, and EPA approved this RI/FS
Workplan on May 4, 2006.
The first round of fieldwork to perform the site
investigation was done in June and July 2006 with the collection of soil, ground
water, sediment, and surface water samples from the site and the Intracoastal
Waterway.
The next round of sampling is scheduled to begin on November
27, 2006, when fish sampling and additional sediment sampling from the
Intracoastal Waterway will be done.
