Pelican Bay in Azle, TX designated a Superfund site (TX)by Neil Fischbein on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 [Permalink] [0 Comments]
According to the site listing on the EPA's National Priorities List website, the Pelican Bay Ground Water Plume:
[...] consists of a trichloroethene (TCE) contaminated ground water plume originating from an unidentified source. The plume is situated in Tarrant County, in and around the City of Pelican Bay, encompassing an area that is approximately one-half mile wide by one mile long. The plume is centered in a rural residential area with some light industry, along Sandy Beach Road at the intersection of Allison Avenue.
The Dallas Morning News reports that:
Mike Lowery, Pelican Bay's director of public works, said: "I'm just grateful they've got us the Superfund and they're going to clean it up, that we're not going to be ignored. We got the wells capped, but I need some help and expertise in getting it cleaned up."
The "Pelican Bay Ground Water Plume," as the EPA is calling it, is the first federal Superfund site proposed in North Texas in a decade and only the fifth one ever.
[...]
[Mayor Marlyn] Hawkins is not thrilled with his city's name being part of the EPA designation.
"Yeah, it's a black eye," he said. "I've got a developer who wants to build five homes down on the lake and now he's saying, 'Well, maybe I'd better hold off until the contamination is taken care of.' "
[...]
But cleansing the chemical from the groundwater to stop the slowly spreading plume, and who will pay for that, is another matter.
"Given the size of the plume, which is a mile long and half a mile wide, the original release could have occurred anywhere from the '60s to the early '70s," said Vince Mallott, the EPA's project manager for cleaning up the chemical.
Mr. Mallott said he has looked at aerial photographs of the area dating to the 1950s and has searched property records as well but has yet to discover a culprit.
"What we don't see is an obvious industry," he said. "I've been on the ground out there and haven't seen any drums."
