New Plans Emerge for Hazardous Waste Disposal
in Montgomery County Injection Wells

Montgomery County, Texas. In a filing with the State of Texas, dated 1/31/08, Robert S. May, Registered Agent for Foxborough Energy Company, LLC. has set forth a new entity of Foxborough, dba Montgomery County Environmental Solutions. The company's plans are stated in their application for Disposal of Hazardous Waste Material.

Foxborough Energy recently acquired a 60% interest in TexCom, a company already in the process of permit approval through the TCEQ for disposal of non-hazardous waste into a proposed injection well site in Montgomery County. It now appears what will be injected at this site is about to change. Read more.

Think Injection Wells Don't Fail?
Ask Residents of Winona, Texas

The town of Winona, Texas was once like our town. A company came in with a plan to inject salt water from oil fields into deep wells that passed through one of the largest aquifers in North America. Soon after, they began to inject toxic industrial waste. It wasn't supposed to fail, but it did, with tragic results.

Come hear the story of Winona as told by Phyllis Glazer, a resident who courageously rallied others in the community to have this well shut down. She succeeded, but not before so many paid the ultimate price. She will be joined by Tammy Cromer-Campbell, an insightful photographer who created a photo essay she calls, Fruit of the Orchard.

Her book illuminated the extent of the tragedy through the faces of Winona's children. Hear and see their story about the tragic human cost of a failed injection well, just like the one proposed to inject toxic waste beneath our water supply.

Senator Tommy Williams and the Joint Powers Group have also agreed to attend. The meeting is scheduled in The Woodlands:

Erin Brockovich Weighs In On TexCom

Erin Brockovich has remained an environmental activist since she spearheaded the famous lawsuit against PGE in 1996, for release of Chromium 6 into Hinkley, California's groundwater. She realized from this experience that she could use her notoriety to spread positive messages of personal empowerment, and to encourage people to stand up and make a difference.

She has heard about our issue in Texas, and has said, "[I have received] letters about TexCom Gulf Disposal who wants to inject supposedly nonhazardous wastewater into wells that run into the local groundwater. I'd always like to take these experts who swear the groundwater is safe and see them drink a couple of gallons of it."

We should all take Erin's courageous lead and do what we can to stand up and make a difference.

We need your help to stop actions by TexCom, Foxborough, and Montgomery County Environmental Solutions to establish a toxic
disposal site in Montgomery County. We need to act now! Here’s what you can do:
