This evening, the Greenfield Environmental Multistate Trust will hold an informal town hall to update residents about ongoing cleanup efforts in and around the former Kerr-McGee site in Columbus.
The town hall is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Sim Scott Park community center.
Lauri Gorton, director of environmental programs/senior strategist and project manager for Columbus with the Greenfield Environmental Multistate Trust, said the event will provide a broad overview of the work the Trust has done and will touch on what lies ahead in continued efforts to remove contamination from the site and areas around it.
"A lot of what we've done over the past year has been our remedial investigation," she said. "We'll give them an overview of the sampling we've done, where we've sampled and what results we've had."
Gorton said the session will also broach removal efforts the Trust has taken in the last year, such as the Seventh Avenue ditch project and removal of contamination from one residential yard.
