The Deer Park company that reportedly agreed to receive millions of gallons of toxic wastewater used to fight fires during the Ohio train derailment has made a statement in regard to the pause placed by federal officials on their operation.

According to Texas Molecular’s Vice President of Sales, Jimmy Bracher, their company has a permit that ‘allows over 230 million gallons [of wastewater] annually.’ Bracher added that the staffers at TM process approximately five to seven million gallons each month, and that they’ve seen loads bigger than the one officials from East Palestine, Ohio planned on sending for disposal.

In response, Bracher said that TM is not required by permit to alert authorities in advance of shipments, however, he says they typically brief local stakeholders when a project has high visibility, “like this one.” Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said the entire situation was ‘bad communication’ between her office and those at TM, stating it would have been a courtesy to be made aware of the transport happening throughout her county.
