Jon,
You've probably already seen it, but R&D133: An illustrated handbook of
DNAPL transport and fate in the subsurface, has a list of around 30
'typical' components of Creosote. I think most if not all the USEPA16 PAHs
are listed amongst others including several phenol based compounds. With
the exception of the 16 PAHS and phenol these are substances I haven't
specified in past analyses.
I am currently looking into some railway ballast removal so I would be
interested to hear you thoughts on the appropriateness of the compounds
listed.
Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Steam Saw Mill
I am looking at a site under Part IIA and I am developing a list of
contaminants that may be present. I have consulted the DoE IP's and CLR8
for potential contaminants.
However, given the age of the site (late 19th, early 20th century), the DoE
IPs state that only creosote compounds are likely to be found as C-C-A
compounds didn't begin to be used till the 1930's. I also doubt some of the
more 'exotic' contaminants will be present.
Has anyone done any works on a site this age before and what sort of
contaminants of concern did they come across?
I am also looking at PAHs as the site was a steam saw mill so there are
likely to be ashes buried on site; any help appreciated!
