NAVASSA, N.C. (WECT) - A decades-long cleanup in Navassa has reached a milestone, but the most difficult work may still lie ahead. About a third of the roughly 100-acre Superfund site has been cleaned up, the Environmental Protection Agency told residents at a community meeting. The former wood-treating site left contamination in the soil, water and sediment.
