Galveston Bay is a big bay. There are parts of West Galveston Bay that are 60 miles from the waste pits.Originally posted by JANKEII View PostComment

Specifically, the large volume of water that came down the SJR during Harvey did erode one portion of the protective cap keeping the waste pits contained, but the cap has already been repaired. The plan going forward is to construct one or more large cofferdams around the pits and completely excavate and replace them. This is all readily available on EPA’s website. The area north of I-10 is not the only area that will be removed. There is also a larger, but more stable, pit south of I-10 along the last section of Market Street before it dead ends.
The fish consumption advisory has been in place for several years and is unrelated to Harvey.
Anyone who is interested or concerned can attend the public meetings EPA holds to inform the community. The meetings have been held in The Highlands but EPA is expanding its outreach to Galveston to include communities further downstream of the pits.

I don't think 600 miles would make a difference. EPA says there are no safe waters in the lower 48, as far as fish consumption.Originally posted by ken View PostComment
