Highlands sits on the San Jacinto River just north of the Ship Channel, between Channelview and Baytown. A1 Mobil covers it from the yard at 255 Blue Bell Rd B, Houston, TX 77037, bringing the crew, the water, the pressure and the containment equipment on the wash vehicle — nothing is supplied by the site.
Industrial support and energy service companies, equipment yards, and contractor fleets working the plants along the channel and out toward Mont Belvieu.
What gets on Highlands equipment
Lease and plant soil — hydrocarbon, mud and grease on equipment that works outside and comes back to a yard rather than a shop.
That is why chemistry and dwell time matter more than raw pressure here. Pressure alone drives contaminant into surface porosity and takes decals and coatings with it; the right detergent given time to work does not.

Wash water compliance in Highlands
The San Jacinto River runs alongside, feeding into the Ship Channel and Galveston Bay, and it carries a long documented industrial legacy that keeps it under scrutiny.
Under the Clean Water Act an unpermitted discharge to surface water is prohibited, and commercial wash water carrying detergent, oil, grease and sediment falls inside that. The discharge happens on your property, from your drainage — so the finding belongs to the site, not to the vendor who drove away. Every A1 Mobil visit seals the inlets first, recovers the water with a 200-foot vacuum system, and hauls it off in a 500-gallon onboard tank.
