| 6 | 6015 Murphy Avenue, Houston, Texas | Chemical distributor | Unknown | Yes-July 19, 2000 | No | An EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices did not contain any records indicating Libby ore was shipped to this site. However, this company did appear on a list of W.R. Grace licensees and industry partners. When EPA visited the site, Cron Chemical was operating a chemical distribution facility at the site and had been in business since 1954. According to Cron officials, the company had never received vermiculite in any form and had not stored it on the site. On the basis of this information, EPA decided further action was not needed. |
