Abstract
The MOTCO site is located about two miles southeast of the City of LaMarque, TX and occupies approximately 11.3 acres near the junction of State Highway 3 and the Gulf Freeway. The site has been used for recycling styrene tars and disposal of industrial chemical wastes. Due to numerous complaints, the City of LaMarque passed an ordinance prohibiting disposal of liquid wastes in surface impoundments which forced the owners to close the site. Subsequent owners attempted to recycle the wastes in the lagoons but later abandoned the project. The cost-effective remedial alternative selected for this site involves transport of surface water in the impoundments by pipeline to an industrial wastewater treatment plant, the incineration of PCB liquid organics at the TSCA permitted facility, the incineration of non-PCB liquid organics at the RCRA permitted or interim status facility, and off-site disposal of the tars/sludges and soils at a RCRA (double-lined) facility. The estimated total cost for this alternative is $42,300,000.
