BOSSIER CITY, La. -- Plans to remove contaminated soil on property on Hamilton Road in Bossier City will be discussed at meetings this week.
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and the Multistate Environmental Response Trust will lead the public meetings and drop-in information sessions related to the former Tronox/Kerr-McGee Wood Treating Facility. All events are in-person at the Butler Educational Complex gym at 649 Wyche St. But the meetings can be joined online or by phone, too.
The 32-acre site where excavation will take place is located at 520 Hamilton Road on the south side of Green Street and about a half-mile north of Interstate 20. From 1930 to 1987, Kerr‐McGee Chemical LLC and its predecessors treated railroad ties with a mixture of creosote and fuel oil on the main property. The west side was used primarily for wood storage and other activities.
