OSTI ID:7117409
The Superfund at Work bulletin series profiles hazardous waste cleanup efforts nationwide. This issue profiles the Brown Wood Preserving Site near Live Oak, Florida, where creosote and other toxic chemicals used for pressure-treating lumber and other wood products polluted 55 acres of Suwanee County, Florida. Much of the indigenous wildlife disappeared from the area due to progressive soil and surface water contamination. Cleanup activities costing nearly $2.8 million were funded by the facility owners under a cooperative settlement agreement, called a consent decree.
