Background

The 100-acre United Creosoting Co. site is located in Conroe, Texas. A wood-treating facility operated at the site from 1946 until 1972. Following pressure treatment of lumber, facility operations rinsed the pressure cylinders and routed wastewater to one of two process waste ponds on site. Facility operations contaminated soil and groundwater with hazardous chemicals. Following cleanup, groundwater monitoring is ongoing.
