Navassa’s Toxic Site Cleanup Near Finish | Wilmington News

Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

Navassa is buzzing with hope as the EPA unveils its final cleanup plan for the decades-old Kerr-McGee Superfund site — a toxic legacy from a once-bustling creosote plant that brought jobs but hidden dangers. With 30 acres of stubborn contamination left to tackle, officials aim to start work in spring 2027 and wrap up by 2028. Residents, including the mayor, see this as a turning point — a “light at the end of the tunnel” — as the town looks toward reclaiming the land for community use. A final plan meeting is set for mid-August.
