A change in the route of the disposal line decreased the concentration of the toxic pollutant and emptied the wastes into a cove of little biologic importance. At the present time there is no damage done to the aquatic life and vegetation in the harbor, but a disposal line that empties into Nueces Bay may be slowly reducing the size of the bay, creating a hazard to fishermen, and destroying the habitat for marine forms.en-USNueces BayColumbia Southern Chemical Corporationhazardous waste dumpingenvironmental impactwater pollutionTechnical Report
