A Brief Overview
The Site is located at 520 Hamilton Road, near the intersection of Hamilton Road and Green Street, about a half-mile north of Interstate 20 in Bossier City, Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The surrounding land use is residential north and south of the Site and commercial/industrial east, west, and southwest of the Site.
From 1930 to 1987, Kerr-McGee Chemical LLC and its predecessors (collectively, Kerr-McGee) treated railroad ties with a mixture of creosote and fuel oil on the Main Property. The West Property was used primarily for wood storage and other activities. The Site was decommissioned in 1988.
Kerr-McGee transferred the Site to Tronox LLC in 2005. In 2011, as part of a Tronox bankruptcy settlement, the Multistate Trust assumed responsibility for owning, investigating, cleaning up, and facilitating reuse of the Site.
In 2015 and 2016, the Multistate Trust received a majority of the Site cleanup funds. Since then, the Multistate Trust has been working to address contamination in collaboration with LDEQ.
