US HWY 90

Population: Approximately 10,000 people reside in Crosby and the surrounding communities. The Riverdale subdivision, the closest residential development, is 500-feet southwest of the Site. Setting: The Site covers approximately 185-acres. It is bordered by the San Jacinto River on the west, Jackson Bayou on the north, and old U.S. Highway 90 on the south. The Site is entirely located within the 100-year flood plain of the San Jacinto River, and portions of the Site are within the 10-year and 50-year flood plains. The Site is frequently inundated. Areas around the Site are largely undeveloped with numerous sand pits and swampy areas. The ground water monitoring wells are the only remaining structures relating to the remedy, and each is secured by an individual fence with a locked gate. The Site currently includes two occupants including one residence and the Love Marina. Hydrology: Soils at the Site consist of river alluvium overlying Texas Coastal Plain deposits. Shallow water-bearing zones occur in the alluvium, which varies in thickness between 17 and 34- feet. Ground water in the shallow aquifer flows to the southwest. A deeper waterproducing zone is found in a sandy-silt zone of the Coastal Plain deposits at about 65- foot below the alluvial aquifer. A clay stratum separates these two uppermost aquifers. The Chicot and Evangeline Aquifers occur beneath several hundred feet of clay, which is below the Coastal Plain aquifer.
