Abstract
The 24-acre Crystal Chemical site consists of a 7-acre abandoned herbicide manufacturing facility (referred to as the onsite area) and 18 acres of affected surrounding properties (referred to as the offsite area) in Houston, Harris County, Texas. From 1968 to 1981, herbicides, including arsenide compounds were manufactured at the site. During that time several structures, four evaporation ponds, and many storage tanks were utilized. Drums of raw and finished product were routinely stored in the open. Onsite soil was contaminated by herbicides spilled from drums during transfer of raw materials from rail cars. Contamination of offsite soil and sediment was a result of periodic flooding, which caused contaminated onsite materials to be relocated offsite. The primary contaminant of concern affecting the soil, sediment, and ground water is arsenic.
