Creosote can still be used on new structures with certain limitations (pressure treated only; surface applied no). There are many EPA restrictions on the use of creosote and its use is currently being re-reviewed. Creosote has been shown to cause cancer, genetic disorders and skin irritation in lab experiments.
Copper naphthenate was recommended for my particular use. there are repair bandages that can be used at ground surface and below for poles.
