In the Replication, the House Managers write:
Consumer and environmental advocate Erin Brockovich, known best for her work obtaining a multi-million dollar medical and environmental contamination settlement against Pacific Gas & Electric, will speak at a town hall hosted by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Houston) about creosote contamination in a north Houston neighborhood Tuesday night.
Groundwater beneath residential properties near the Englewood Rail Yard in North Houston is contaminated with creosote, a probable carcinogen according to the Environmental Protection Agency, as a result of past rail yard operations. The preservative was used for decades to treat wood railroad ties, and seeped into the ground and formed a plume that has moved beneath homes in the surrounding Fifth Ward and Kashmere Gardens neighborhoods.
