600 NORTH MCQUEEN STREET BOX 6021
The Jasper Creosoting site is located at 601 N. McQueen Street in the City of Jasper, Jasper County, Texas. The geographic coordinates of the center of the site are approximately 93º 58’ 56†west longitude and 30º 56’ 06†north latitude. Jasper Creosoting is a former wood treatment facility, which utilized coal-tar creosote and pentachlorophenol (PCP). The site occupies approximately 11 acres and is bounded on the east by the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway, on the west by N. McQueen Street, on the south by State Highway 776, and on the north by commercial property. Drainage from the site flows to a ditch along the eastern boundary of the site (east drainage ditch). The ditch flows south along the site until reaching a culvert that runs east beneath the BNSF railroad tracks into the unnamed wetland area (drainage inlet). The wetland area continues about 500 feet to another culvert beneath Highway 776 (drainage outlet) where surface water drains into a small ditch. The ditch flows southeast another 500 feet into Big Sandy Creek, which is a tributary to B.A. Steinhagen Lake, approximately 12 miles west of the site. The site is located on the outcrop of the Jasper Aquifer, a continuous 1,200-foot deep aquifer that serves as the primary source of drinking water for the Upper Jasper County Water Authority and supplies water to residential users. There are 27 drinking water wells located within four miles of the site. These wells range in depth from 22 feet to 640 feet BGL. All of these wells draw from the Jasper Aquifer. The nearest drinking water well to the site is a City of Jasper municipal water supply well located seven tenths of a mile southeast and hydraulically down-gradient from the site. The approximate population of the City of Jasper is 8,247 people. Approximately 1,100 people live within a one-mile radius of the site
