Description

This book is volume one of a three volume report created by the TNRCC (Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission) regarding the management and clean-up of the Hi-Yield site in Commerce Texas. The Hi-Yield site is located on the northeast side of the Southern Pacific Railroad, bordered by Sycamore Street (south), Johnson Street (east), and Ross Street (north) in Commerce. This site was used from the early 1950s until 1972 in the distribution of insecticides and cotton defoliants, the formulation and packaging of such products, and the manufacture of arsenic and monosodium acid methylarsenate. The TNRCC documented highly elevated levels of arsenic in the yard of a home located adjacent to Sayle Creek, downstream of the Hi-Yield site. Arsenic and pesticide contamination was detected both on and off the Hi-Yield site, including additional residential lots in the surrounding Norris community.
