A recent article in the Palacios Bea-con titled “History of Hu-Mar Chemi-cals” outlined the history of an 18-acre plant on McGlothlin Road, between 4th and 12th Streets, that was used to pro-duce pesticides and herbicides until it was shut down by the Texas Air Control Board (TACB) in 1980 for the “improper storage of several hundred deteriorating drums containing unknown materials.”

Subsequent to its closure, Hu-Mar hired a contractor to remove the drums, phosgene gas cylinders, and tanks, and dismantle an old brick kiln used for stor-

age of drums, and treat the soil beneath it to mitigate contamination. Even a buried train tank car was found and re-moved in 1985.

In 1999, the TCEQ prepared a Haz-ard Ranking System score of 15.67 for the site. A score of 28.5 or greater may qualify sites for the federal Superfund program, while a score of 5 or greater may qualify for the state Superfund pro-gram. Since that time, TCEQ has tested offsite water wells, installed 72 ground-water monitoring wells, collected and analyzed numerous surface soil, sub-surface soil, groundwater, and sediment

PCMC’s 10th annual Box Supper Fundraiser Thurs.

Fear gripped the Palacios community as a recent threat against Palacios High School was made. Fortunately, the threat was taken seriously by officials at Palacios Indepen-dent School District (PISD) and the Palacios Police Dept.

According to Palacios Police Chief David Miles there was not an event at Palacios High school, nor was there a firearm on campus nor was anyone ar-rested with the incident.

“Kids were making com-

ments on the bus the day before (Sept. 18) ,” Miles said. “The PISD Police were notified and intercepted the individuals (the following morning) and were separated and interviewed as well as their parents.”

On last Wed. (Sept. 19), PISD posted the following message on it’s social media pages and sent the statement home with students from all four campuses. The message reads as follows:

Dear Palacios ISD Families,We were recently notified of a

threat directed toward Palacios High School. Law enforcement

officials and PISD administra-tion were immediately notified, have taken immediate action, and all threats have been veri-fied and addressed. At no point were any weapons brought to campus.

Please know all threats to our schools or students are taken seriously and investi-gated thoroughly to insure the safety and security of our stu-dents and staff. Essential to this commitment is open com-munication with parents about safety issues when they arise.

Safety is a community effort and we need your help. Please

talk with your child about the serious consequences that will occur if threats are made to the school or students. In addition, students need to recognize and report any suspicious activity to their campus principal or law enforcement. “See Some-thing, Say Something.” Thank you for your assistance in keeping our students and com-munity safe.

The following day, Thurs. (July 20) PISD released the following additional statement:

Late in the evening of Tues-

The City of Palacios will be hold-ing its annual Fall Clean Up from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Sat. (Sept. 29) at the City property located at 6th St. and Commerce, across from the Outrigger Event Center. The clean-up is for Pa-lacios residents only and must bring a City of Palacios water bill and photo ID. City employees will assist with un-loading.

Things continue to churn behind the scenes at the Pa-lacios Economic Develop-ment Corp. (PEDC) with another step being taken in the hopes of bringing a new hotel to town along with continued discussions, al-beit behind closed doors, in regards to a recreational project considering the City by the Sea.

On the hotel front, PEDC Executive Director Mike Ferdinand said it’s time to start moving forward.

“We are going to go ahead and purchase the land and will be looking to the City as what’s next to transfer title and the exchanging of funds.”

Ferdinand reported a spe-cial meeting would be need-ed in the coming weeks to discuss the next steps in the project’s timeline.

“I’d like to have the finan-cial institution here to talk about the process they’re looking for and go from there,” Ferdinand added.

Police cracking down on illegal campingPORT ARANSAS: Port Aransas Police Department

officers have stepped up enforcing camping citations in recent weeks because of an increase of problems be-ing caused by those living on the beach post-Hurricane Harvey, said Police Chief Scott Burroughs. He believes those who are illegally camping are a mixture of people who came to Port Aransas after the storm, and locals who did not have enough money to fix their homes. “We really try to be tolerant because we understand some people can’t find work or don’t have funds for housing,” Burroughs said. “But, we are seeing more people who are starting to panhandle. We are trying to get ahead of the problems associated with having a population of people who are not contributing to society.” A city ordinance prohibits campers from staying longer than three days in one spot. They cannot return to camp on the beach for three weeks, Burroughs said. He also said camping is not allowed anywhere else in town besides the beach. “The camping is not the underlying issue,” he said. “It’s the problems associated with the population living on the beach.” - Port Aransas South Jetty

NFL’s Seahawks keep former RicebirdSEATTLE: Former Ricebird and Palacios native

Joey Hunt will open the season on the Seattle Seahawks’ 53-man roster. After being drafted by the Seahawks in the sixth round in 2016, the former Ricebird played in nine games as a rookie, but last season spent most of the year on the practice squad. Now in his third season with the Seahawks, Hunt is one of nine offensive linemen to make the team. Last week, Pete Carroll, the Seahawks Head Coach, opened up his press conference praising Hunt, calling him a “terrific ballplayer” unsolicited. Cole Hunt, Joey’s brother, was waived by the Los Ange-les Chargers with an injury settlement. He is free to sign with any team, but is currently unsigned. - El Campo Leader-News

day, September 18th, a parent and a student made a report to the Palacios Police Department in which a conver-sation was overheard during the bus ride home between at least two oth-er students in which one mentioned the possibility of him threatening to shoot the Palacios High School cam-pus. Early, before school started the following morning, PISD Police and Administration were made aware of the threat and the identities of the stu-dents who participated in the conver-sation. Before the school day began, Palacios Police Department, PISD Police and PISD Administration suc-cessfully secured and isolated the stu-dents in question, keeping the rest of our student body safe and secure thus eliminating the need for calling any

kind of lockdown measures. After Police and PISD Administra-

tion interrogated the students in ques-tion, no weapons were found in their possession and one student admitted to making the verbal threat. Palacios Police Department made a deter-mination that there was insufficient cause to proceed any further with criminal charges. PISD Administra-tion did make the determination that there is sufficient evidence to take severe disciplinary action. Unfortu-nately, we cannot divulge the degree and extent of the disciplinary action due to federal student privacy restric-tions. PISD police has additionally decided to forward this incident to the Matagorda County District Attor-ney for further review. Our campus

administration is following up with our student body to reassure them of the situation and encourage them to continue to say something if they see something.

The Palacios Independent School District takes any and all threats to our schools or students seriously and will take any action necessary to keep our students and staff safe. We con-tinue to encourage our community to stay vigilant and report threats of any kind.

While there has been harsh criti-cism directed ats PISD on social media (imagine that), it appears the district went above and beyond due diligence in investigating the appar-ent threat.

who stated more was to be reported on in Executive Session.

MCEDC ReportContinuing in the execu-

tive director report, Ferdi-nand reported the county has had multiple site visits over the past month, both industrial and recreational/leisure, involving both PEDC and MCEDC.

He noted an industrial client reviewed the region

and there is a request for proposal going in on two requests.

Projects within the coun-ty continue to press on in-cluding an industrial proj-ect west of the Colorado River, and a new abatement application was received for a industrial project east of the Colorado River.

The E.On windfarm proj-ect remains active but Fer-dinand noted it’s up to the

company and county to come to a new reinvestment zone and then reschedule the public hearings.

Building purchase finalized

PEDC President Robert Van Borssum reported the PEDC has recently closed on the purchase of the of-fice building.

Matagorda County App

The Board agreed not to entertain another fund-ing run for the Matagorda County App, joining mul-tiple other entities in the county.

grant requests for Pedal Palacios ($2,500), Bay-fest ($1,500) and upcom-ing Palacios Pirate Festival ($2,000).MCEDC, PEDC Contract

The board approved to amend the agreement be-tween PEDC and MCEDC for Executive Director ser-vices of Michael Ferdinand from $35,000 annually to $40,000.

samples, and monitored the site for groundwater and soil impacts.

Proposed Remedial Action

Groundwater: The pro-posed groundwater remedy is on-site and off-site Plume Management Zone (PMZ) chemical oxidation (ISCO) Treatment for on-site and off-site groundwater that exceeds applicable Protec-tive Concentration Level (PCL), and will remain in place until it is demon-strated that contaminants in groundwater no longer ex-ceed the applicable PCLs. This process will entail ap-proximately 18 injection wells placed on the site.

Soil: Off-site soils that exceed groundwater pro-tection PCLs will be exca-vated and disposed of off-

site. The maximum depth of the excavation is expect-ed to be three feet. On-site soil that exceeds ground-water PCLs will be man-aged within the ground-water PMZ and will not require remedial activities.

MeetingOn Thursday, Texas

Commission on Environ-mental Quality (TCEQ) held a public meeting at City Hall to present their Proposed Remedial Action, answer citizens’ questions, and receive public input on the Proposed Remedial Ac-tion.

Questions AnsweredZoe Lipowski, Project

Manager for TCEQ, Site Attorney, Theda Strickler, and Site Toxicologist, Jo-seph Haney fielded ques-tions from the public, with

Lipowski handling the lion’s share. When asked about a timetable for the cleanup, Lipowski stated, “Within a couple of years.” To a question about con-taminants traveling offsite through the soil or water she replied there is “No risk,” though, at present, three adjacent properties have been affected by con-taminants in the uppermost groundwater bearing unit (GWBU) which occurs from approximately 10 to 70 feet below the ground surface. Water wells are typically much deeper than that, and the City of Pala-cios wells are at least 590 feet deep. Lipowski also stated, “In 30+ years, the groundwater plume has not migrated very much.”

While Hu-Mar is pres-

ently a “Proposed State Su-perfund Site,” records can be reviewed at the Palacios Library and TCEQ Central File Room (http://www.tceq.texas.gov/admin.data/fileroom.html.

There will be no charge to residents for junk, trash, old furniture or appliances. Residents will need to sign an authorization sheet and fees will be added to their water bills.

Items requiring charg-es: electronic material - 50-cents per pound & weighed on site; tires - $2.50 per regular tire; $7 for tire with rim; $9 for tires over 20-inches; and $13 for tires over 20-inches with rim.

No hazardous material (paint, oil, chemicals) will be accepted.
