Sounds like you could have had another Times Beach on your hands.

(That was the Missouri town where dioxin-laced waste oil was used
for the same purpose -- and that had to be bought out years later
as a result of contamination.)

This was pretty much the case for the rural roads through a lot of the
state. And definitely it was the case for all of the power line right of
way roads. Not an uncommon thing at all, and sadly the contamination will
outlast all of us.
