The EPA is set to begin the cleanup of toxic soil at the American Creosote Works site in Pensacola's Sanders Beach this summer. Despite $40 million allocated for the project, an additional $8.6 million is needed for full remediation.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will start accepting bids for residential lot clean-ups in March, with work anticipated to commence in June or July. The city envisions transforming the site into a park, although land ownership complications remain.
