Pasadena superfund site
I had read about US Oil Recovery in Pasadena and I was curious.
At one time, it was one of the city’s oldest waste water treatment plants. But, the city sold it to a private company and it was turned it into a industrial waste treatment plant; that was when things started to go down hill. Long story short, there was an “incident” four or five years ago when a heavy rain flooded the area and washed toxic waste into Vince Bayou. The TCEQ and the EPA jumped in as it was considered an emergency.
From what I gathered, the TCEQ then launched an investigation. It took years, but just last September the site was finally listed as a superfund site.
I drove by on News Years Day. To me, it seemed a place where nightmares are created. Looking at it from the outside, I had a feeling of dread and I knew this was a place where terrible things must have happened.

While visitng a Pasadena school for career day, I made an audio file of the kids saying the pledge. They were so happy to hear it played back. So, I’, posting it here mainly as an experiment to see if I can figure it out. Be aware, for some reason the volume is really, really loud.
