Formerly owned and operated by Southern Pacific Railroad, the Site ceased operating as a wood treating facility in 1984. It was acquired by UPRR in 1997 through a merger with Southern Pacific. Contamination associated with the former wood treating operations has been identified both on- and off-site, including creosote contamination in groundwater. The groundwater investigation and cleanup are being addressed under the TCEQ permit, and groundwater is not used as a drinking water source for the surrounding community. </p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px; font-size:16px; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:" font-size:17px;'>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (AOC) with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). The consent order compels UPRR to investigate and evaluate potential contamination in and around the former wood preserving facility in the Greater Fifth Ward area of Houston, Texas. </p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px; font-size:16px; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:" font-size:17px;'><br /></p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px; font-size:16px; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:" font-size:17px;'>This Dashboard shows the Background Soil Sampling Exceedances on the Background Soil Sampling page of the R6 UPRR Hubsite.
