Title: Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 8): Broderick Wood Products, Adams County, CO. (First remedial action), (Amendment), September 1991

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5090750

The 64-acre Broderick Wood Products (BWP) site is a former wood treatment facility in Adams County, Colorado. Land use in the area is predominantly industrial. The site is one-half mile south of Clear Creek, a perennial stream. In 1981 and 1982, EPA noted several violations of RCRA requirements. A future ROD will address the final remedy for the site by providing treatment of contaminated soil, debris, and surface and ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the sludge are VOCs including toluene and xylenes; other organics including dioxin and PAHs; and metals including lead. The amended remedial action for the site includes excavating and preparing 950 cubic yards of solid sludge, 1,220 cubic yards of liquid sludge, and 500 gallons of oil collected from the sludge from temporary storage cells within the impoundments area; and transporting sludge and oil to a permitted recycling facility to reclaim creosote for use.
