The American Creosote Works site is an environmentally polluted Superfund site in the Sanders Beach neighborhood of Pensacola.
Administered by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the site is undergoing environmental remediation.
Site overview
The 18-acre site is bounded by West Gimble Street to the north, South F Street to the east, West Pine Street to the south, and South L Street to the west.
The site was used by American Creosote Works (ACW) and its predecessors as a wood treating facility from 1902 through 1981. Prior to 1950, the facility used primarily creosote as its wood treating agent; after 1950, pentachlorophenol was the primary chemical used.
