Environmental group requests state investigation into Formosa Plastics explosion

POINT COMFORT, Texas — San Antonio Bay Estuarine Waterkeeper has filed a formal environmental complaint and request for investigation with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regarding the Formosa Plastics explosion that occurred Oct. 28. The complaint requests a state investigation into the early morning explosion and fire at the facility's polyethylene units and associated product storage silos. Residents in Calhoun and Jackson counties reported hearing a loud boom and feeling the ground shake when the explosion occurred. No injuries were reported. Formosa officials have said there is no indication the incident caused any off-site environmental impacts. However, the complaint argues that questions remain about the substances involved, the quantity of materials released and the thermal conditions during the fire. The organization also expressed concerns about the possible deposition of toxic byproducts and the runoff of fire-suppression chemicals into nearby waterways.
