The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting public comments on the Proposed Plan for cleanup of the Pine Yard portion of the Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp – Columbus Superfund Site in Columbus, MS.

The 30-day Public Comment period will end Sunday, Jan. 6, 2019. The EPA held a public meeting to discuss its proposed Site cleanup plan and answer questions Dec. 13 at the Genesis Dream Center in Columbus.

The Multistate Trust is already performing the cleanup work described in the Proposed Plan, and the activity will prepare a portion of the Site for reuse perhaps as early as 2019.
