The Future of the Former Kerr-McGee Site in Columbus Starts Now

Our Documents

The Multistate Trust is committed to encouraging stakeholder awareness and understanding of work at the former Kerr-McGee Site in Columbus. We have developed and distributed fact sheets, a community newsletter, and other materials to inform stakeholders of Site activities and progress.

A considerable amount of project information is available in large and complex technical documents. Once the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) approve these documents, they are made accessible to the public.
