Many areas would not support plant life. No buildings remain in Area A, which is north of 22nd Street. The debris includes old treated railroad ties. These include the office, a building directly south of the office, two buildings next to the creosote treatment cylinders, the transite building, and the silos that are south of the Jennite building. The remaining tanks and buildings have been removed.
Trespassers can easily reach all the buildings remaining, except the office.
A chain-link fence topped with 3 strands of barbed wire surrounded the site. However, several sections of the fence do not have the strands of barbed wire and may be easily climbed by trespassers. They then visited with those residents whose yards had been sampled to discuss the test results. The most notable on-site contamination is the creosote lying atop the soil in and around the creosote area and train tracks leading to the treated tie storage area. The zinc naphthanate areas have gravel spread around them so that surface contamination was not visible.
