3300 2ND STREET , SW

The AT& SF Albuquerque site is located at 3300 Second Street, SW, in the South Valley area of the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico. The facility is a part of the plant property that totaled more than 85 acres in 1907, and was constructed from 19 07 to 1908. The facility operated as a wood pressure treatment plant from March 1908 to January 1972, and primarily used creosote and oil mixtures for the manufacture of pressure treated wood products. In 1972, the plant was totally dismantled, and the only physical feature remaining on - site is the wastewater reservoir/wastewater sump. Most of the organic contamination found at the site occurs as a dense non - aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) with organic compounds that slowly dissolve into the ground water. The soil contaminants consist of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and zinc. The closest residential area is about 0.5 miles to the southwest and a single residence (mobile home) is located about 600 feet west of the site. Two major residential areas are located about 2 miles north and 1.5 miles south of the site. Major population centers are located either west of the Rio Grande, north of Woodward Drive or east of Interstate 25.
