Abstract The Hocomonco Pond site consists of approximately 23 acres, located in the Town of Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and is bordered on the northwest by Hocomonco Pond. Research into the past activities at the Hocomonco Pond Site indicates that from 1928 to 1946, the site was used for a wood-treating operation by Montan Treating Company and American Lumber and Treating Company. This business consisted of saturating wood products (e.g., telephone poles, railroad ties, pilings and fence posts) with creosote to preserve them. During the operations, wastes were discharged into a pit lagoon (referred to as the 'former lagoon'). The lagoon was excavated on the property to intercept and contain spillage and waste from the wood-treating operation. As this lagoon became filled with waste creosote, sludges, and water, its contents were pumped into two depressions, referred to as Kettle Pond, which is located east of the site, near the west side of Otis Street.
