This Sept. 2017 photo shows a dump site approved by the state in Port Arthur, Texas. The temporary dumping ground used to sort moldy debris from buildings flooded after Hurricane Harvey in southeast Texas was closed following a weeks-long campaign by the neighborhood’s predominantly elderly black homeowners complaining of potential health risks. Residents and activists were celebrating after the site was closed Sunday, Oct. 29, 2017, as contractors finished their first sweep of ruined furniture and appliances left curbside in the Gulf Coast city about 80 miles (129 kilometers) east of Houston.
