Item Bio-assay and Analysis of Davis Enterprises' Chemical Waste Dump(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1959) Marek, R., Jr.Davis Enterprises hauls various chemical wastes from Texas Gulf Coast plants and disposes of the wastes into earthen pits near the mouth of Cedar Bayou on Galveston Bay. Wastes had overflowed in adequate pits and had become a potential pollution problem during high tides.Item Bio-assay and Chemical Analysis of Atlantic Refining Company's Waste Waters, Port Arthur Plant - Industrial Waste Control in Region MP-1(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1960-01-31) Marek, R., Jr.Objectives: (1) To determine the toxic effects of wastes on marine life; (2) Check for toxic compounds in waste waters; (3) Improve quality of waste waters.Item Bio-assay and Chemical Analysis of East Texas Pulp and Paper Company's Waste Waters, Evadale, Texas(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1959) Marek, R., Jr.East Texas Pulp and Paper Company started production in December, 1954, and has been having waste control problems from the start. Wastes from the mill have contaminated all of East Canal, Lake Bayou, and, on occasions, sections of the Neches River. Four pollution complaints have been filed against the pulp company sice they began operations, the lastest one filed in August, 1958. Company officials have announced that several methods of treatment are being investigated but no progress appears to have been made so far.Item Bio-assay and Chemical Analysis of Eastern States Petroleum Company's Waste Waters, Houston, Texas(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1959) Marek, R., Jr.Waste waters proved toxic to fish life in concentrations as low as 8%. Wastes were also high in temperatures, sulfides, phenols and oxygen consuming materials.Item Bio-assay and Chemical Analysis of Gulf Oil Corporation Refinery's Waste Waters, Port Arthur, Texas(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1959) Marek, R., Jr.Gulf's Port Arthur Refinery is one of the oldest and largest in the U.S. Gulf is in the midst of a long range plan for curbing their pollution problems. Old, obsolete process units are being replaced, new cooling towers are being planned that will cut down on the volume of effluent and installation of equipment to take care of acid sludges, oils and solids are being built.Item Bio-Assay and Chemical Analysis of Jefferson Chemical, Texas-U.S. Chemical Goodrich Gulf, and Neches Butane Waste Waters, Port Neches, Texas - Industrial Waste Control in Region MP-1(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1960-06-30) Marek, R., Jr.Objectives: (1) To determine which of the four plants are contributing to the pollution load on the Neches River; (2) To determine toxic chemicals and its effects on fish life; (3) Encourage company officials to correct any pollution problems they might have.Item Bio-assay and Chemical Analysis of Magnolia's Refinery Waste Waters, Beaumont, Texas(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1959) Marek, R., Jr.Magnolia discharges approximately 150,00 gpm of waste waters which are high in oil content and solids. Company officials informed us that long range plans for replacing worn our units with new and more efficient equipment would cut down on their present waste volume and improve the quality of the waste waters as well.Item Bio-assay and Chemical Analysis of Rohm and Haas Chemical Company's Waste Waters(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1959) Marek, R., Jr.Waste waters were found to be highly toxic to mosquito fish, mollies, shrimp and croakers. Corrective measures are now being taken to correct the waste problem by building a series of waste treaters.Item Bio-assay and Chemical Analysis of Sheffield Steel Corporation's Waste Waters, Houston, Texas Plant - Industrial Waste Control in Region MP-1(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1960) Marek, R., Jr.; Texas Game and Fish Commission project reports, 1959-60.Objectives: (1) To determine the toxic effects of waste waters on marine life; (2) To determine toxic chemical compounds present in waste streams; (3) Encourage company representatives to improve quality of waste water.Item Bio-Assay and Chemical Analysis of Texas Company Refinery Waste Waters, Port Neches, Texas, Plant - Industrial Waste Control in Region MP-1(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1960-06-01) Marek, R., Jr.Objectives: (1) Determine the effects of the waste waters on marine life; (2) Encourage corrections to pollution problems.Item Bioassay and Chemical Analysis of Pure Oil Refinery's Waste Waters, Port Neches, Texas - Pollution Waste Control in Region MP-1(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1961-01-15) Marek, R., Jr.No abstract available.Item Chemical Analysis of Sinclair Refinery's Waste Waters, Pasadena, Texas - Industrial Waste Control in Region MP-1(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1961) Marek, R., Jr.; Texas Game and Fish Commission project reports, 1959-60.Sinclair Refinery is located on the Houston Ship Channel approximately 2.5 miles above the Washburn Tunnel in Pasadena, Texas. Sinclair employs 2000 personnel and processes over 150,000 barrels of crude per day. Five thousand gallons per minute of waste waters from the refinery enter the Houston Ship Channel after being run through old, outdated, oil skimmers. Samples of this discharge were analyzed for the presence of potentially harmful chemical constituents. It is believed that with the completion of the new retention basin and acid pond with pH control a substantial improvement in water quality should be achieved.Item Chemical Analysis of Texas Butadiene and Chemical Corporation's Waste Waters, Channelview, Texas - Industrial Waste Control in Region MP-1(Texas Game and Fish Commission, 1961-01-13) Marek, R., Jr.Objectives: Determine effects of waste waters on aquatic life in San Jacinto River at point of discharge.
