Document fenceline and flare conditions along the Highway 87 roadside, site 4, Highway 87 public road shoulder, Sabine-area petrochemical corridor vicinity, Orange County, TX (2026-07-24)
Bridge City sits close to the Sabine-area petrochemical industry along Highway 87, and there is no standing, dated photo/observation record of visible flaring, venting, dust, or odor along the public roadside nearest the industrial corridor. Standard: CARB Study of Neighborhood Air near Petroleum Sources (SNAPS) community air-monitoring practice + EPA ambient-air-monitoring guidance. SDG 3.9/11.6. Proof: document-only photo/odor-log set from the public road, well back from any fenced parcel + GPS + condition tag + ranked follow-on list Method (CARB Study of Neighborhood Air near Petroleum Sources (SNAPS) community air-monitoring practice + EPA ambient-air-monitoring guidance. SDG 3.9/11.6.): 1. 1. Park in a safe, legal roadside pullout along the public Highway 87 shoulder, well back from any fenced industrial parcel, and observe the fenceline and any visible flare stacks or plumes in the distance. 2. 2. Photograph the fenceline and flare stacks from the public road shoulder only, never approaching, entering, or touching any fenced industrial parcel, gate, or pipeline. 3. 3. Log any visible flaring, venting, dust, or odor observed, with the time of day noted. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow-on note naming the location for the regional community air-monitoring effort. Done when: document-only photo/odor-log set from the public road, well back from any fenced parcel + GPS + condition tag + ranked follow-on list
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: EPA NAAQS community ambient-air screening (PM2.5)
Bring
- calibrated PM2.5 monitor
- GPS phone
- wind/weather note source
- hi-vis vest
- camera
Steps
- 1. Choose >=3 points (near-source/roadside, mid, background); record GPS at each; stay off the roadway.
- 2. Photograph each monitoring location.
- 3. Log PM2.5 (ug/m3) at each point over a comparable peak period.
- 4. Record wind direction, time, and nearby source activity (e.g., truck traffic).
- 5. Compare readings to the NAAQS reference.
- 6. Enter the PM2.5 logs, wind/time, source note, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
If it does not match the plan
- Roadside work near heavy traffic -> stay off travel lanes; hi-vis at all times.
- Near-source PM2.5 well above background and NAAQS -> flag an environmental-justice exposure concern.
What counts as done
- PM2.5 logged at >=3 points (near-source / mid / background)
- Wind direction + time recorded
- Source-activity observation recorded
- GPS waypoints + location photos
