VICTORIA, Texas – Workers are moving soil contaminated by a chemical leak at the Port of Victoria out of the port.
San Patricio County Sheriff Oscar 5ivera says the 50 to 60 trucks of soil are moving through his county.
The soil will go to U.S. Ecology in Robstown, a hazardous waste facility designed to handle that kind of material.

Authorities say about 300 barrels of crude oil and diesel were leaked.
