JUST FYI,the reason creosote was banned ,was it slowly leached out of the pole, from top to bottom.top would rot and bottom still be good. but when you pulled pole you were stuck with theoreticaly toxic waste in the dirt. at least that was the reasoning. i worked building distribution lines right at the time when we were changing to "green" poles. most linemen hated them since we still climbed poles back then.creosote made poles easier to climb since it softened the outside of pole some. also if you got a splinter from one of those green poles it hurt like crazy. one "good" thing about what we called green poles ,the treatment itself was much thinner so it penetrated the poles better,making them last longer (AT least theoretically). The leaching of the creosote into the soil though was the real kicker though.
