broderick wood products

5600 HURON ST

The Broderick Wood Products (BWP) site, in Adams County, Colorado, is a former wood treatment facility. BWP operated the facility from 1947 to 1982 on the 64-acre, triangular-shaped piece of property. As part of the wood treatment process, BWP used creosote and pentachlorophenol (PCP) to treat power poles, fence posts, railroad ties and other wood products. Hazardous substances from the process were disposed of primarily in two unlined impoundments in the northwest portion of the property.
