TCEQ's Bexar County Superfund map is a starting point, not a verdict

TCEQ's Bexar County map lists sites with very different pasts. No more Superfund work is needed at Phipps Plating. At the former Aztec Ceramics plant, cleanup is in the operation-and-maintenance phase. That means long-term care and upkeep. The site was also removed from the state list.

A nearby pin does not prove that a home or piece of land is contaminated. Open the site page. Read what was found, where it was found, and what work was done. Also check if testing or upkeep still goes on. Distance alone cannot answer those questions.

The map is a good first check for land with an old factory use or an unclear past. Use the official page to find the question. Then ask a trained environmental expert to answer it for that piece of land.
