Abstract

A negotiated settlement for possible injury to natural resources from the French Limited Superfund Site along US 90 near Crosby, Texas provided this opportunity to restore or enhance natural habitats in the Galveston Bay system. This project will produce the natural resources that may have been injured by the release of hazardous materials from this site into the San Jacinto River. A series of slides will show the transformation from a deteriorated urban setting to a coastal wetlands with intertidal meanders through Spartina, upland vegetation on islands, and explain the process that allowed this unique project.
