A two-part public forum in Fort Bragg highlighted ongoing contamination at the former Georgia-Pacific mill site, with hazardous byproducts including dioxins, PCBs, and heavy metals. - The site, 425 acres with ocean frontage, operated from the 1880s until 2002.
- Cleanup options are limited to excavation or long-term containment with land-use restrictions. - The most contaminated area (OU E) may require restrictions lasting decades or centuries.
Ongoing groundwater monitoring is in place, but no active remediation is currently underway.
