Environmental Impact
Recently in Deer Park, TX, the chemical facility known as Intercontinental Terminal
Company (ITC) caught on fire and is still under investigation for the unknown causes of the fire.
There are many governmental entities present to determine the root cause and impact on the
environment of this tragic event. Chemical plants have a high environmental impact on the
community due to the many dangerous chemicals they store in their facilities. These chemicals
affect the water supplies, the air we breathe, and the community when exposed.
The environmental impact started just before 11 AM on March 17, 2019. The area in a
one-mile radius of the facility fire was engaged in a shelter in place. A few hours later, the fire
continued to grow. By then the entire city of Deer Park was mandated into a shelter in place. As
the day went on, the fires grew stronger, a second tank was confirmed to be on fire. These tanks
were filled with Xylene and Naphtha, two components for gasoline. The facility's first
responders continued forward, trying to put out the flames but were unsuccessful and the local
fire department, U.S. Coast Guard, and other environmental companies specializing in hazardous
fires had to make way. As the fire continued growing, a huge cloud of smoke had already filled
the sky of Houston. The plume was coming from the chemicals Xylene, Pygas, Toluene, and
Naphtha. As these chemicals burned the dark plume of smoke could be seen from the other side
of town. These chemicals are commonly used in gasoline, nail polish remover, paint thinner and
are highly flammable. As the shelter in place still held its grip on Deer Park the fire continued to
burn for hours. The fire spread to a total of seven tanks by 1:30 AM the next day.
