Site Background: 

From 1936 to 1974, Kerr-McGee and other companies operated a creosote-based wood treating facility on approximately 70 acres of the 246-acre former Kerr-McGee Property. By 1980, Kerr-McGee dismantled the wood-treatment buildings and facilities. The former Kerr-McGee Property is bounded by the Brunswick River, Sturgeon Creek, a residential area, and a light industrial area.  

In 2010, groundwater, soil, and sediment contaminated by creosote-related chemicals led the EPA to add the former Kerr-McGee Property to the National Priorities List of federal Superfund sites. Site contamination does not currently threaten people living or working near the Superfund Site. 

In 2005, the property was conveyed to Tronox, a Kerr-McGee spinoff that filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009. In 2011, the Multistate Trust acquired approximately 152 acres of the former Kerr-McGee Property as a court-appointed trustee as part of the Tronox bankruptcy settlement. In 2016, the Multistate Trust purchased an additional two acres.  

The Multistate Trust is working with its beneficiaries—EPA and NCDEQ—on Site investigation, remediation and facilitating safe, beneficial future reuse.

The former Kerr-McGee Property is bounded by the Brunswick River, Sturgeon Creek, a residential area, and a light industrial area. 

In 2010, groundwater, soil, and sediment contamination by creosote-related chemicals led the EPA to add the former Kerr-McGee Property to the National Priorities List of federal Superfund sites. Site contamination does not currently threaten people living or working near the Superfund Site.

In 2005, the property was conveyed to Tronox, a Kerr-McGee spinoff. In 2009, Tronox filed for bankruptcy protection. In 2011, the Multistate Trust acquired approximately 152 acres of the former Kerr-McGee Property as a court-appointed trustee as part of the Tronox bankruptcy settlement. In 2016, the Multistate Trust purchased an additional two acres. 

The Multistate Trust is working with its beneficiaries for the Navassa Site—EPA and NCDEQ—on Site investigation, remediation, and facilitating safe, beneficial future reuse.

You are invited to two public availability sessions and a community meeting about the Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp – Navassa Superfund Site and a COVID-19 vaccine event on Tuesday, June 22, 2021. and to a contractor information session for the Kerr-McGee Site on Wednesday, June 23.

Site Background

From 1936 to 1974, Kerr-McGee and other companies operated a creosote-based wood treating facility on approximately 70 acres of the 246-acre former Kerr-McGee Property. By 1980, Kerr-McGee dismantled the wood-treatment buildings and facilities. The former Kerr-McGee Property is bounded by the Brunswick River, Sturgeon Creek, a residential area, and a light industrial area. 

In 2010, groundwater, soil, and sediment contamination by creosote-related chemicals led the EPA to add the former Kerr-McGee Property to the National Priorities List of federal Superfund sites. Site contamination does not currently threaten people living or working near the Superfund Site.
