Abstract

The MOTCO hazardous waste site is located in LaMarque Texas approximately 72 km southeast of Houston. There are approximately 38,000 Mg (42,000 tons) of hazardous and toxic waste materials in eight pits on the MOTCO site. Additionally, 36,000 Mg (40,000 tons) of lightly contaminated soil are associated with the pits. The wastes are primarily high heat content organic liquids, sludges, and solids, some containing PCB concentrations in excess of 50 mg/kg (50 ppm). The remediation project includes site preparation, excavation, equipment mobilization and erection, trial burn, incineration, demobilization, and site closure. The project is currently underway with site preparation activities, equipment erection, and one of two trial burns completed. Remediation is progressing with one of the eight waste pits completed.
