Site Background
The soil removal near the ±32-acre Site is being prioritized before on-site cleanup to minimize risks to residents. The Site is located on the south side of Green Street near Hamilton Road about a half mile north of Interstate 20.  From 1930 to 1987, Kerr‐McGee Chemical LLC and its predecessors treated railroad ties with a mixture of creosote and fuel oil on the Site. The facility was decommissioned in 1988.
