Oct. 20 (UPI) -- The Environmental Protection Agency signed off on a plan to make more extensive repairs to a riverbed near a superfund site in Texas damaged by Hurricane Harvey.
The EPA said there was erosion of the river bottom up to 12 feet deep near the cap of the San Jacinto River Waste Pits Superfund Site in Harris County. The agency on Thursday directed two companies -- International Paper and a subsidiary of Waste Management Inc. -- to stabilize an area about 40 feet by 400 feet in area.
