[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Train Guy 3 Ties get used for landscaping quite a bit around here but they put a ban on burring cresote ties in the ground. Is that an EPA regulation. [/quote] Yes. A pile of ties on the ground burning, as already mentioned, burns at a relatively low temperature. Some creosote is vaporized without combusting and some is only partially combusted. Sometimes the partial combustion products are worse than the original creosote. Also, as already mentioned, a properly designed and properly operated combustion system burns clean (at least not worse than fuel oil, etc.) because of much higher temperatures. By putting a waste heat boiler on such a system, one can recover the energy and use it for something.
