Superfund record of decision (EPA region 4): American Creosote Works (Jackson Plant), Jackson, TN, September 30, 1996

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:538807

This decision document presents the selected remedial action for Operable Unit No. 2 at the American Creosote Works site in Jackson, Tennessee. The remedy selected is a combination of free liquid removal and disposal, immobilization, deed restriction, and monitoring. Free creosote, water, emulsion, and associated contaminants will be recovered from site soils and treated before disposal at approved locations. Remaining contaminants in the target area will be immobilized by mixing the contaminated soils and sludge with an appropriately formulated binding reagent. The resulting mass will be buried within the area and the area will be properly landscaped to control erosion. Institutional controls will be imposed to limit the property to industrial and similar uses only.
