"Allowing vehicles to enter the property to dump material illegally outside of any scope of a permit or any type of proper landfill-type operations, if you will, and was doing that probably under the table... and probably was receiving some compensation to allow for this dump access unbeknownst to the owner and the city at this time," Whittenburg said.The property owners, he said, are cooperating, and have been leading cleanup efforts.
NBC 5 asked if the city has tested the quality of nearby groundwater and the Trinity River, or will be doing so. The first two investigations, the agency said, are finished, and violations issued. The agency's July investigation is still ongoing., and the public can comment on it until August 26. The case is listed under the company Dorex, which was the company listed as operating at the property until this year, according to TCEQ documents.
