Voda Petroleum, Inc.
This Former Waste Oil Recycling Facility in White Oak, Gregg County is in the Operation and Maintenance Phase.
Site Summary
The Voda Petroleum site covers 6.12 acres at 711 Duncan Road, White Oak, Gregg County, about 1.25 miles west of the Farm-to-Market (FM) 2275 (George Richey Road) and FM 3272 (North White Oak Road) intersection, approximately 500 feet north of the Duncan Road and Charise Drive intersection, 2.6 miles north/northeast of Clarksville City.
The site was a waste-oil recycling business from 1981 to 1991. The facility received, stored, and processed lubricating oils, transmission oils, hydraulic oils, diesel oils, kerosene, gasoline, and aromatic and paraffinic solvents. Operations ceased in 1991.
TCEQ inspected the site numerous times between 1982 and 1992. After the business closed, the TCEQ documented releases into adjacent residential properties and into Campbell’s Creek. In 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) removed 476 55-gallon drums of waste, 16 above-ground storage tanks, and associated contaminated soil.
Superfund Registry and Remediation Activities
In 2000, the TCEQ proposed the site for listing to the state Superfund registry because the soil and groundwater were contaminated with hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents.
The remedial investigation and feasibility study phase was conducted from 2001 to 2008. On February 12, 2010, TCEQ issued an Administrative Order that listed the site on the state Superfund registry and selected the remedial action for the site.
TCEQ completed the remedial action in 2010. It consisted of excavating contaminated soil, disposing of it off site, and installing a bioremediation groundwater-treatment system. The treatment system infused gases into the groundwater plume to promote aerobic biodegradation of contaminants. TCEQ plugged the treatment wells and monitoring wells in 2018 and in 2024.
TCEQ has concluded that the remediation activities were effective. Data indicates that there are no site chemicals of concern above safe levels in soil or groundwater that may be harmful to human health or the environment.
Current Status
TCEQ has completed cleanup activities. The site needs no additional state Superfund environmental response actions.
Public Meeting Information

TCEQ published the meeting notice in the Texas Register (51 TexReg 770), and in the Longview News-Journal newspaper on February 6, 2026.
