Chevron Environmental Management Company representatives were in Lawrenceville Wednesday May 13th and held the annual Texaco Refinery Open House and Tours.
The gathering at Wishnick Park offered local residents the opportunity to travel through the 990-acre Superfund site and see and hear what has been done at the location.
Henry Stremlaw is the project site manager for Chevron's Asset Retirement Team and spoke with GIANT-FM News. He indicated that mostly site work is being done at the location with the company still working with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on finalizing the remediation plan for the site cleanup. He also said that they are on the lookout at the Lawrenceville site for an emerging global contaminant that is reportedly spreading.
The cleanup of contaminated soil and groundwater caused by the refinery operations began in 1996.
