  • The Bayou Bowl, with a Successful 16 Year History, Is an All-Star Football Game Featuring 36 of the Best from the Greater Housto
    The Bayou Bowl, with a successful 16 year history, is an All-Star Football Game featuring 36 of the best from the Greater Houston Area against 36 of the best from the State of Louisiana. After the 2013 contest, won by Texas, the Louisiana High School Athletic Association and the Greater Houston Football Coaches Association mutually agreed to end the series. As a result of this decision, the GHFCA Board of Directors, wanting to continue with an All-Star Football Game for the players in the Greater Houston Area, adopted the following format. We divided the city into an East-West alignment using I-45 as the dividing line. The U.I.L. High School districts were used to determine the direction of the member schools. The 2014 game was played in Sugarland, a West side venue, the 1st game played using the new format. It featured 72 players from the Greater Houston Area, 36 per squad, from 72 different member schools. The game was broadcast live on KTRK-TV, ABC, Channel 13, with Bob Slovak, sports director of KTRK-TV, handling the play by play. The 2015 game returned to the East side of Houston and Stallworth Stadium, Baytown. The 2016 game was played at Rhodes Stadium with the City of Katy serving as the 2016 Bayou Bowl Host. The 2017 game was played at Turner Stadium, Humble ISD, Humble, TX. The Kingwood Mustang marching band performed as well as the National Champion Dance Team, the Fillies. The 2018 game once again returned to Baytown’s Stallworth Stadium, the original site for the 1st Bayou Bowl Game played in 2003.

  • Atlas Smelting and Refining 5 Houston, Harris County NFA 02/16/2009 7 Years Between
    Atlas Smelting and Refining 5 Houston, Harris County NFA 02/16/2009 7 years between The site is located west of interstate Hwy 45 in the Houston Heights neighborhood, located north of downtown Houston, inside loop 610. The surrounding land use is residential. A Pre-Cerclis Check List was prepared for the site in March 2002. The Pre-Cerclis Report noted that the site posed a Low Potential Hazard. The Report further noted that the site was found to be inactive, and the two buildings comprising the site had signs that said “FOR LEASE.” It also noted that the previous site activities were unknown. No file information was available from the EPA or the TCEQ regarding the site operational history. A TCEQ representative visited the site on January 22, 2009. The representative observed that the old buildings had been demolished and removed from the site; and the site was currently occupied by two-story residences. The TCEQ representative also spoke to Mr. Matt Christianson, representative of Sullivan Interests (Luxury Home Builder) during the site visit. According to Mr. Christianson, the company is a real estate developer. The company purchased the site in 2006, and the adjacent Iron and Metal site in 2004. These two businesses are located in a residential neighborhood. The company removed the existing structures and built high end homes, which the company sold to individuals. Mr. Christianson further stated that the site was inactive at the time his company purchased the site; and the two on-site buildings were housing the parts painting equipment. The Company stated to TCEQ that the company did not notice any evidence that would indicate smelting operations were taking place in the buildings that were removed.
