| Abstract | The 25-acre Texarkana Wood Preserving site is a former wood treating facility in Bowie County, Texas, within the Days Creek 100-year floodplain. Surrounding land use is industrial, residential, and agricultural. Since the early 1900s, several lumber-related businesses have operated at the site, with documented creosote-based wood treating operations starting in 1954. By 1971, Texarkana was also using creosote and pentachlorophenol for wood preserving. State investigations of the site between 1968 and 1984, showed Texarkana to be negligent or delinquent in fulfilling various permit requirements. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses onsite contaminated soil near the processing ponds and contaminated ground water in a shallow aquifer. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, sludge, and ground water are organics including dioxin, PAHs, pesticides, and phenols. |
