Site Background
The ±31-acre Site at 1611 Talleyrand Avenue is located on the west bank of the St. Johns River in the predominantly industrial port of Jacksonville. Kerr-McGee and its predecessors used the Site to manufacture, formulate, package, and distribute fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides from 1893 to 1978. Site contaminants—primarily pesticides and metals—are present in soil, sediment, and groundwater at concentrations that may pose a threat to human health and the environment.
Planned Cleanup
A major cleanup phase is expected to begin in spring 2024. The planned Remedial Action will address soil, groundwater, sediment, and surface water impacted by Site-related contamination associated with Operable Unit (OU1). The cleanup will implement the EPA-selected remedy in the 2016 Record of Decision. Find the OU1 Remedial Action fact sheet here.
The Multistate Trust
The Multistate Environmental Response Trust (Multistate Trust) is a private, independent entity. It was created by a federal bankruptcy court to assume responsibility for the Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp Superfund Site in Jacksonville and to investigate and remediate the Site and facilitate its safe, beneficial reuse. Greenfield Environmental Multistate Trust LLC is the court-appointed Trustee of the Multistate Trust.
