CNN.com - Houston bayou named Superfund site - September 7, 2002

None of the Houston Axis has posted on this (that I've seen) so I figured I would. I'm guessing they'll wait until after the hurricane. Why is it that President Bush's environmental record in Texas doesn't get more play?

Chemicals in sediment from the bayou and adjacent areas include pesticides, aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury and other metals, according to tests by city and state agencies and the EPA.

Jeez, you're acting like that was poison or something! How can Texas maintain a healthy business environment if they aren't allowed to dump chemicals and heavy metals into nearby habitats? So the government will have to clean it up. Big whoop.
