Federal, state and Multistate Trust officials and representatives will hold a public information session Dec. 7 to update the public on work at the Kerr-McGee Superfund Site in Navassa.
The 251-acre site was contaminated by the Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp., which used creosote as a preservative to treat wood between 1936 and 1974. After the facility was dismantled, the creosote was buried on site. Creosote, which is a known carcinogen, and related contaminants are now found in the soil, sediment and groundwater in the area.
