Environmental impact assessment of flood-induced washout from an AMOCO land treaty facility. Final report.

A multidisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in marine environmental chemistry, plant-soil chemistry, coastal plant ecology, soils engineering, benthic ecology and fisheries ecology has served in an advisory, analytical assessment capacity to Radian Corportation in the characterization of potential environmental impact resulting from a 100-year storm and subsequent washout from AMOCO Oil Company's 68-hectare (168-acre) Land Treatment Facility (LTF) in Texas city, Texas. The research team specifically addressed a worst case, acute environmental inpact to Swan Lake and Galveston Bay ecosystems resulting from late summer hurricane-induced washout of refinery wastes into nearby Swan Lake and the adjacent portion of Galveston Bay.
