Leonard,
There are a number of instances of superfund sites impacted with creosote and other wood preserving chemicals, most with groundwater contamination. A good place to check would be EPA’s website. In the Mid Atlantic, EPA Region 3, see the following links:
For arsenicals
Lots of info and links to other sites (e.g.;, ATSDR public health assessments)

Anyone know of instances of well contamination resulting from the application of wood preservative to telephone or electric poles near the well?
