Sea Level Rise, Storm Surge Analysis, and Protection Design for Malone Superfund Site in Texas
The Malone Services Company Superfund Site is situated in a lowland area along Galveston Bay, Texas bordered by open water of the bay and adjacent wetlands and marshes. Hurricanes have demonstrated the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure to storm surge flooding. Sea level rise has the potential to amplify this flood risk. The Record of Decision (ROD) for this superfund project included solidifying on-site oily wastes and disposing of them into a planned RCRA Subtitle C equivalent cell.
