Residents who live on the San Jacinto River fear chemical releases and explosions from the vessels.Attention, Richmonders! The United Heckathorn Superfund site is a major source of pollutants contaminating #SFBay & the Richmond shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed.
The EPA is working on a plan to get the site cleaned up and is holding a series of meetings to raise awareness and hear community concerns.
The next meeting will be held on Zoom on Wednesday, 5/21 from 6:30-8:00pm. The discussion will focus on why the first cleanup was ineffective.

Attention #Richmond residents! A Superfund site known as #UnitedHeckathorn is a major source of DDT and other pollutants contaminating the Bay and shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
On 4/23 the #EPA will host a Zoom call to engage with the community where they will describe why the last cleanup failed and the plan to move forward.
Please bring your questions for EPA and state officials! https://usepa.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/8SlhuBdVTZ-xuoEGnusbZA#/registration
