Site Type: Completed NPL City: Denver County: Adams Street Address: 5600 Huron Street Zip Code: 80221 EPA ID#: COD000110254 Site ID#: 0800030 Site Aliases: Broderick Investments Co. Congressional       District(s): 01, 02 |
Site Description
The 64-acre Broderick Wood Products site, in Adams County, Colorado is a former treatment plant that used creosote and pentachlorophenol (PCP) to treat wood products. In 1983, EPA detected PCP in soil and groundwater samples taken both on and off the Broderick Wood Products property. The Agency placed the site on its National Priorities List in September 1984.
Contaminants of concern are polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PCP and their byproducts, dioxins and furans (flammable liquids). Swallowing or inhaling the contaminants can possibly cause damage to organs, irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, and irritation or inflammation of the skin.

Cleanup Progress
These cleanup activities have been completed either by EPA or the potentially responsible party, Broderick Investment Company (BIC):
- Removal of sludges from the two former impoundments to a reclamation facility in 1993.
- Construction of a land-treatment unit (LTU) for contaminated soils in 1994.
- Construction of a treatment plant to treat contaminated ground water in 1994 (modified later in 1996).
- Construction of a bioventing system to treat the subsurface area in 1996.
