How about the fact that the Nordics of yore used these wood
tars as preservatives on their Viking ships? In most circles
a wood preservative is assumed to be a substance that
retards or eliminates microbial attacks leading to loss of
structural integrity (probably the opposite goals of a
composting operation).

site a few years after he stopped dumping blackwater there,
and the plants growing there seemed just as vigorous and
healthy as nearby plants outside teh dump zone.

That's intriguing Kevin,
So I wonder why there seems to be a general consensus that
dumping tarry water in a pond amounts to environmental
vandalism. Not saying your gasifier correspondent was making
it up. But you would think the President of Myanmar would
have better things to do than declare black water
gasification leach ponds toxic sites Military juntas aren't
well known for their environmental awareness. So why the
concern about tar ponds people?
