Brooklyn Center: Joslyn Superfund Site | Minnesota Pollution Control Agency

From the 1920s until 1980, a succession of companies treated wooden poles and ties at the Joslyn site in Brooklyn Center. Soil, sediment and groundwater at the site became contaminated with pentachlorophenol and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, which are constituents of the wood-preservatives used at the site.
