If it's not exactly the worst thing in the world, why spend a few hundred million on clean up? Just contain it, and voila.

I don't think it will be (or should be) fully cleaned up. Rather the focus will be on ensuring that there are no health risks associated with the proposed development, and that transport of creosote into the Bow River is prevented. That might involve partial clean-up and engineered barriers or other measures.
