Background

The North East 2nd Street site includes a former grain storage facility in Happy, Texas. The facility burned to the ground in 1962. Contaminants of concern include carbon tetrachloride (CTC), which firefighters used to put out the fire, 1,2-dibromethane (EDB), 1,2-dichloroethane (DCA) and chloroform. The selected remedy in the Record of Decision (ROD) is pump and treat. The Remedial Design is underway and is expected to be complete in early 2024.
