French Limited Superfund Site. EPA ID# TXD980514814
Crosby, Harris County, Texas 77532

Site Location:
The site is located in northeast Harris County, two miles southwest of Crosby, Texas, one mile east of the San Jacinto River, at old US Highway 90 and Gulf Pump Road.

Site History:
The site was used for sand mining operations between 1950 and 1965. The site operated from 1966 until 1972 under permit from Texas Water Quality Board for Petrochemical Waste Disposal. Approximately 3.4 million cubic feet of material were received, some burned; remainder placed in pit. The facility's permit was revoked and the operation closed in 1973.

Health Considerations:
• Ground water and surface water are for drinking and irrigation.
• Measurable levels of contamination in the air have been detected.
• Direct contact risk from contaminated sludges and soils.

Other Environmental Risks:
• The nearest drinking water well is 1,500 feet southwest of the waste lagoon.
• The site is in the floodplain of the San Jacinto River.
• Ground water in the upper aquifer is contaminated.
• Supplemental Feasibility Study being prepared completion scheduled in 2007.
