East 67th Street Ground Water Plume

Odessa, Texas	

Site Description

The East 67th Street Site is located in Ector County, Texas, immediately north of the Odessa City
limits. EPA added the site to the NPL in 2007. The site consists of a contaminated groundwater
plume caused by an intentional release of over 15,000 gallons of hazardous chemical liquid waste
from the former Delta Chemical facility (now Brenntag) located on East 67th Street. The release
contaminated groundwater supplies that serve as a local water resource.

Current Site Status and Cleanup Actions to Date

•	In 2011, EPA issued a site-wide cleanup plan, which includes installation of a water supply
line from the City of Odessa; the line will be extended to homes and businesses with private
water supply wells currently or potentially affected by the groundwater contamination.

•	The cleanup plan also calls for a second remedy component involving enhanced natural
degradation and installation of a groundwater extraction and treatment system.

•	The third remedy component includes installation of a soil vapor extraction system to remove
residual contamination.

•	EPA has determined that all unacceptable human exposure pathways have been eliminated,
and therefore, under current conditions, human exposure is under control site wide.

Unfunded Action

Fiscal Year 2012 work that was not funded involved installation of the water supply line.

Current Funding Status

To date, EPA has not spent any funds for response construction work at the site.
