Contamination of water lines
would not be a problem, said Von
Rosenberg who took soil samples
around Cabin 8 Friday .
Von Rosenberg added that
lpenta-WR’ has been listed as a
hazardous chemical by the EPA
“just in the last few years.” He
said the chemical “has been around
a long time.’’
Clean up has not begun on
Cabins 7 and 9, he said. A four
millimeter polyethelyne cover was
put down around the buildings to
prevent water intrusion, he said.

mental Protection Agency guide-
books say that ‘penta’ can be
absorbed across skin, lungs and in-
testinal lining.
Systemic poisoning is character-

Texas Water Commission In-
spector Charles Finch said that his
ageticy received an anonymous tel-
ephone report of improper pesti-
cide use at the cabins, and he took
a soil sample at Cabin 7 on June 8.
He collected another sample on
June 27 when park personnel be-

Samples are being analyzed by
Texas Health Department labora-
tories,.and no results from the three
samplings have been returned,
Finch said.
TPWD District Director Bill
Scruggs said the chemical’s label
instructions said it could be used
for termite treatment, but parks
staff “applied it improperly” by
pouring it into trenches dug around
the cabins.
Pentachlorophenol is used to
protect wood and was intended to
be applied by painting, soaking or
dipping the wood, he said.
Trenching is another method of
applying pesticides but was an in-
appropriate application of pentach-
lorophenol, he said.
Scruggs said questions about the
procedure were raised within
TPWD after the application. “I
don’t have knowledge of who
called the Water Commission,” he
said, adding that Parks officials be-
gan investigating along with Water
Commission inspectors.
“We want to act quickly to re-
move it. We have no idea yet of
the cost,” he added
Local personnel with pesticide
applicator licenses treat the
grounds, he said. TPWD is now
looking into additional training for
pesticide applicators, he said.
