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!
