To allow massive tanker ships to reach crude oil export facilities planned for the Port of Calhoun, the Port Authority is advancing a plan to dredge a deep channel through a 22-mile swath of Matagorda Bay and Lavaca Bay. The plan includes digging through a Superfund area contaminated with mercury. Toxicologists have warned the project could disturb mercury-laced underwater sediment and endanger local fishing and recreation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is taking public comment on the plan through SEPTEMBER 5. Tell the Army Corp: Don’t dredge our bay!
