It also outlines the anticipated community relations activities to be conducted during the remedial design and remedial action (RD/RA) stages at the Geneva Industries site. This CRP supersedes the remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) CRP dated May 1984. Under cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Texas Water Commission (TWC) has lead responsibility for planning and implementing the required community relations activities at the Geneva Industries site. The EPA Region VI office will oversee all community relations activities at this site. The Geneva Industries community relations plan has been prepared to aid the Texas Water Commission along with the Environmental Protection Agency in developing a community relations program tailored to the needs of the community affected by the Geneva Industries site. The TWC and the EPA conduct community relations activities to ensure that the local public has input to decisions and access to information about Superfund activities at the Geneva Industries site. The information in this plan is based primarily on the RI/FS CRP dated May 1984, project records maintained by the Texas Water Commission, the Responsiveness Summary, and the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Geneva site. B- Site.-Profile 1. Site Location and Description The Geneva Industries site is a 13 acre tract located at 9334 Caniff Road in Houston, Harris County, Texas immediately adjacent to the corporate limits of the city of South Houston. The site is within one mile of Interstate Highway 45 and within two miles of William P. Hobby Airport. The property is bound on the north by Caniff Road, on the southwest by Easthaven Boulevard, and on the east by a Harris County Flood Control Channel (See Appendix B for site maps). 005465 The topography in the site vicinity is flat with a maximum grade elevation of 35 feet above mean sea level (msl). The site is currently located in the 100-year floodplain and is drained by the adjacent flood control channel. Channel improvements planned for this area are expected to lower the 100-year floodplain elevation to 31,4 feet msl. while several manufacturing units have been removed from the site, a substantial number of tanks as well as process equipment remain. * 2. Site Background and History The Geneva Industries site is an abandoned refinery which manufactured a variety of organic compounds, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from 1967 to 1973. On July 8, 1970, Geneva Industries requested a permit application for the discharge of industrial wastewater from the Texas Water Quality Board (TWQB). An inspection in April of 1971 showed that Geneva was manufacturing diphenyl and custom processing other organic compounds. The company had been discharging wastewater with a pH of 10.5 without a permit to the flood control ditch east of the site. On February 21, 1972, the TWQB joined the Texas Air Control Board and the Karris County Pollution Control District (HCPCD) in a suit against Geneva for unauthorised discharges. An inspection of the facility on March 17, 1972 noted that Geneva distilled dealkylation still bottoms to recover diphenyl, with" toluene and heavy fuel oil as byproducts. The company used xylene as a solvent in the process. The inspection noted frequent spills,'particularly of biphenyl and xylene. In June 1972, the company added a new unit to chlorinate biphenyls, combine them with caustic soda, and produce phenoxy phenol; numerous leaks were observed at that time. The TWQB issued Waste Control Order §01688 to the company on August 23, 1972. Finally, on November 26, 1973, Geneva notified its creditors of its bankruptcy. Prior to 1967, the property was used for petroleum exploration and production activities, From 1974 until the facility was closed in 1980, several corporations continued recovery operation for biphenyls and naptha at the Geneva facility. These corporations include: 1. Pilot Industries (February 1974 to December 1976); 2. Intercoastal Refining (December 1976 to December 1980); 3. Lone Star Fuel Company (December 1980 to May 1982). The current owner, Fuhrmann Energy, purchased the property in May of 1982 to salvage the equipment from the site for resale. 005466 Records from the Texas Water Quality Board and the Hairis County Pollution Control District indicate that several citations were issued to the various owners for unauthorized discharges of wastewater into the adjacent flood control channel. These records also indicate that plant operation was marked by numerous spills and process leaks and that housekeeping and disposal practices deteriorate! with time. >$ of 1981, the 13-acre site included processing tanks and piping, a large wastewater lagoon, two smaller lagoons, a closed out lagoon containing solid PCB wastes, a diked tank area, several drum storage areas, a landfanr., and a landfill. The Texas Department of Water Resources (TDWR), the predecessor agency of the TWC, had estimated that over 1,000,000 gallons 01 contaminated water were contained in the lagoons, concrete sump, and holding tanks. In addition, an estimated 1,200 cubic yards of PCS contaminated sludge existed in the lagoons About 450 drums of various organic wastes were stored around the site. Small warehouses on the site contained a pile of approximately 50 cubic yards of phenyl phenol and a pilt, of 8 cubic yards of bagged up asbestos insulation stripped off salvaged pipes. The number of drums and their contents buried in the landfill was unknown at that time, and remains unknown today. The numerous spills over the history of the plant resulted in several areas of contaminated soil on the ground and in the adjacent drainage ditch. An EPA investigation team found soils containing up to 9,000 parts per million (ppm) PCB on the site, and up to 104 ppm in the drainage paths leading off-site. In addition to PCB, many other hazardous and/or toxic compounds were quantified in the soil on the site. These include: napthalene, fluorene, phenanthrene, methylene chloride, chrysene, and toluene. Pursuant to a prior request from the TDWR, a Planned Removal was performed by EPA during the period from October 1983 to February 1984. The principal actions of the Planned Removal involved the closing of three on-site lagoons, removing all drummed waste on the surface, removing all off-site soils containing greater than 50 ppm PCBs, installing a cap over all on-site soils containing greater than 50 ppm PCBs, and improving site drainage. Approximately 3,400 cubic yards of contaminated soils and sludges, 550 drums, and 25 tons of asbestos were removed and transported to an approved disposal facility. Other removal actions to plug abandoned wells on-site and remove storage tank materials were performed in May and September i984, respectively. Although the removal actions mitigated the immediate hazards to human health and the environment, they did not address the long term problems.

If you would like to know about an inventory for a specific collection please call or visit the Texas Room of the Julia Ideson Building. In addition, many of our collections have a related oral history from the donor or subject of the collection. Many of these are available online via our Houston Area Digital Archive website. MSS 009 Hector Garcia Collection Hector Garcia was executive director of the Catholic Council on Community Relations, Diocese of Galveston-Houston, and an officer of Harris County PASO. The Harris County chapter of the Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations (PASO) was formed in October 1961. Its purpose was to advocate on behalf of Mexican Americans. Its political activities included letter-writing campaigns, poll tax drives, bumper sticker brigades, telephone banks, and community get-out-the- vote rallies. PASO endorsed candidates supportive of Mexican American concerns. It took up issues of concern to Mexican Americans. It also advocated on behalf of Mexican Americans seeking jobs, and for Mexican American owned businesses. PASO produced such Mexican American political leaders as Leonel Castillo and Ben. T. Reyes. Hector Garcia was a member of PASO and its executive secretary of the Office of Community Relations.
