For More Information: 

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.
