KEMRON was recently awarded a contract with EPA Region 4 at the former Mississippi Phosphate Corporation (MPC) fertilizer manufacturing plant in Pascagoula, MS. The scope for this contract is to prepare 50 acres on the northeast slope (known as Phase 1B) of the East Gypsum Stack (EGS) Complex for liner installation. Currently, KEMRON is installing liner on the west slope (Phase 1A) under a separate contract with EPA. This firm fixed price contract was awarded under an unrestricted acquisition by Region 4. The scope includes 313,800 cubic yards of total earthwork.

KEMRON has been supporting EPA at the MPC Superfund Site since February of 2017; first with water treatment services that will continue throughout the EGS closure process and later with preparation and cover installation of the Phase 1A portion of the EGS. This contract represents the second step in a multi-step process to completely close and cover the EGS and associated wastewater ponds.
