The former Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp. and other companies used the 245-acre site on the Brunswick River and Sturgeon Creek from 1936 to 1974 for treating wood with creosote. The soil, sediment and groundwater are contaminated by creosote-related chemicals.
The site was conveyed in 2005 to Tronox, a Kerr-McGee spinoff that filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009. In 2011, the Multistate Trust acquired the site as a court-appointed trustee as part of the Tronox bankruptcy settlement. The Multistate Trust is working with its beneficiaries, DEQ and EPA on the site investigation, remediation and redevelopment planning.
