If you have questions or concerns about the former Kerr-McGee Site, please contact Lauri Gorton of the Multistate Trust at lg@g-etg.com or (414) 732-4514. About the Former Kerr-McGee Site in Columbus, MS. The Site is located at 2300 14th Avenue North and consists of two parcels separated by 14th Avenue North.
Wood treating ended when the Kerr-McGee plant shut down in 2003. During operations, raw timber was brought to the Site by rail and stored in the Pine Yard and at several locations at the Main Plant Area.
The United States Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency, which filed the suit, settled last month for the $5.15 billion from Anadarko, which bought Kerr-McGee’s major assets in 2006.
McClanahan argued the amount, which includes $68 million to remediate the 90-acre site in Columbus where Kerr-McGee once operated, wasn’t enough to ensure all toxic chemicals will be removed.
