Kline, hopefully you're what the US EPA considers "commercial use" as they say, in part "...there is no registered residential use."--that cut from their webpage below.
Auer: Also on that webpage it details Health Canada is/was working together with the US EPA to study and come up with guidelines. etc. for creosote.

treating fence posts
Klein, just run it past your EPA guy one of the three times next week.
Murf in the case of a high water table (18" below ground) and clay soil, wouldn't the hole fill up with water especially with pea gravel in it? My neighbor only got 20 years out of his 8x8 treated pole barn posts before he had sister them. They were in concrete too--which is also debatable if that is wise to to do.
I wonder if sprayable asphaltic coating used for waterproofing basements could be used to dip the posts. After all isn't the ends of the post that are most susceptible to absorbing water?
As far as the tops of the posts go, managing water and snow is important too. Many years ago our state parks and road commissions cut post tops at an angle to shed water---that's when they used to paint them white and black for visbility. These days some road commissions angle-cut the square treated posts used on some, but not all, guard rail systems.
I have noticed that road commissions here also slather on a tar-like substance on square posts used mainly for roadside signage.

Klien, a simple "thanks" would have sufficed.
I don't get it; you ask for information. And just because it's not what you want to hear you get all pissy. What gives?
Here, take these tweezers and yank the wild hair in your ass.

Murf, the land is a former aux. NIKE airstrip but there's just a high table water below.

Kenny IMHO it's not necessarily the presence of water; it's the water or moisture combined with bacteria, fungi and insects in the soil and wood itself breaking down the wood fibers into food (everyone needs their fiber). If you think about it (or aboot as Murf "wood" say), live trees withstand frozen conditions all the time in winter with no ill effects.
