Background

The 55-acre French Limited site is located in Crosby, Harris County, Texas. Site uses between 1950 and 1973 included sand mining and operation of an industrial waste storage and disposal facility. Between 1966 and 1971, 90 million gallons of industrial wastes from petrochemical companies were disposed of on the property. Site activities and waste disposal practices contaminated groundwater, surface water, soil and sludge with hazardous chemicals and heavy metals. Following cleanup, operation and maintenance activities are ongoing.
