The overall objective of this Environmental Action is to remove creosote-contaminated materials from the Pine Yard portion of the former Kerr-McGee site in Columbus, Ms., as described in the EPA-approved Pine Yard Site Removal Action Work Plan (RAWP). The overall purpose of cleanup activities planned for the Pine Yard is to remove creosote contaminated materials in order to prevent unacceptable exposure to humans and animals, to stop or minimize the movement of contamination, and to prepare the Pine Yard for future redevelopment.
