A community meeting will be held Tuesday, March 31, 2026, to update the community on the five completed phases of off-site contaminated-soil cleanup near the former Tronox/Kerr-McGee Wood Treating Facility (Site) in Bossier City.
The meeting, hosted by the Multistate Environmental Response Trust (Multistate Trust) and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ), will also cover key upcoming activities to support Site redevelopment planning efforts––a market study and on-site soil sampling. Other topics include the opportunity for a local firm to perform clearing and fence replacement work at the Site.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 31, 2026, 6:00–7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Red River Missionary Baptist Church, 1831 Scott Street, Bossier City
MEETING TOPICS INCLUDE:
- Local contracting opportunity–Anyone interested in work opportunities at the Site is encouraged to attend the meeting to learn more. The Multistate Trust will discuss the potential for engaging a local firm experienced in clearing and fence replacement work.
- Site redevelopment planning–On-site soil sampling and a market study are planned in 2026 to support the Multistate Trust’s Site redevelopment planning efforts and to position two 6-acre areas for productive, community-supported reuse.
