Hercules Inc. Superfund Site - TANA Meeting

On December 20, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency added the Hercules Inc. Site, a former chemical manufacturer in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to the Superfund program’s National Priority List (NPL). Since the Site’s listing, EPA has been working with the community to identify and address concerns about the Site’s status and cleanup. In Fall 2025, EPA will conduct a Technical Assistance Needs Assessment (TANA) through EPA’s Technical Assistance Services for Communities (TASC) program for the community near the Hercules Inc. Superfund Site. The TANA will continue engagement efforts and identify the most effective ways to provide site-related technical information.
