Chemical spilled in Matagorda Ship Channel
About 220 gallons of lye spilled into the Matagorda Ship Channel on Sunday during a transfer of the material onto a barge at the Calhoun Port Authority. The lye, also known as caustic soda, was a product of Formosa Plastics Corporation. But it was not in the custody of Formosa at the time of the incident, the company's spokesman, Bill Harvey, said. The port's director, Charles Hausmann, was not available for comment Thursday. The U.S. Coast Guard's Marine Safety Detachment in Victoria responded to the incident, said Petty Officer 3rd Class Jennifer Nease. The material dissipated on its own about 8 p.m. Sunday, she said.
