Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 6): Koppers (Texarkana plant), TX. (First remedial action), (amendment), March 1992
The 62-acre Koppers (Texarkana Plant) site is a former wood treatment facility located in Texarkana, Texas. From 1910 to 1961, the Koppers Company treated wood onsite using PCP, creosote, and metallic salts. After onsite operations ceased in 1961, the structures were removed and the property was sold for residential and industrial development. The 1992 ROD amendment appends the provisions of the mandate to the remedy, as established in the 1988 ROD. The primary contaminants of concern, as provided in the 1988 ROD, affecting the soil, sediment, debris, and ground water are VOCs, including benzene, toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including PAHs and PCP; and metals, including arsenic.
