General Process Description
A wood preserving process that produces 90% utility poles (primary product) and 10%
foundation pilings (secondary product) is operated at this site. The poles and pilings are
treated with pentachlorophenol (PCP) or chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and then
transferred to a drip area. PCP is dissolved in a petroleum solvent before use and CCA is
an aqueous mixture or solution of chromium, copper, and arsenic oxides.
The wood preserving process consists three pressurized treatment cylinders. The CCA
cylinder is equipped with a vacuum system that vents to an all in one storage and vent tank,
which are two different tanks that share a common vent to the ambient air. The PCP
cylinders are equipped with one vacuum system (two pumps — one vent system) that
transfers preservative into a common vent and recovery tank that also vents to the ambient
air. The three pressure treatment cylinders are located under one shed roof.
Southern yellow pine is unloaded in the wood yard, debarked, and the wood waste is
transferred to a fuel storage area where it is eventually burned in the boiler. After
debarking,the remaining wood poles and pilings are transferred to framing for drilling and
branding.
The poles and pilings are dried in kilns after leaving the framing area and are then treated
with chemicals in an autoclave(cylindrical vessel)that applies the appropriate preservative
to the product through hydraulic pressure. The treated poles are then transferred to a drip
area designed to capture preservative chemicals that discharge after treatment.
The poles are inspected for quality assurance purposes, inventoried, and shipped.
Some poles arrive debarked and are ready for drying after framing.

Recent Permit Activity
On January 9, 2014, a permit renewal of 3753R10 was done. Other changes were made to
the permit as well:
• 6J Boiler GACT was added to the ES-1 boiler.
• Two insignificant/exempt activities were moved into the main permit because of the
emissions inventory that indicated both sources potential emissions of VOC's before
controls were above 5 tons per year. These are listed as ES-2 (three steam heated dry
kilns) and ES-3 (wood preserving operations) in the new air permit.
On April 19, 2016, the facility requested a permit modification to air permit 3753RI I for
the replacement of one of the existing kilns at the facility. The kilns are part of existing
emission source ES-2. The smaller previous kiln(4,000 cubic feet capacity,part of ES-2)
has been replaced with a bigger kiln(12,000 cubic feet capacity,part of ES-2). The facility
was previously classified as a Small source—but because of this permit revision for a larger
kiln replacement, they will now be a Synthetic Minor source. This also triggered NC
toxics.
On April 20, 2017, the facility requested a permit modification to air permit 3753R12 to
add a 20.1 MMBtu/hr Hurst wood boiler (Emission Source ID No. ES-4) and two
multicyclones in series(Control System ID No. CD2). No other changes to the air quality
permit were requested. This newer, additional boiler is needed because of the old age of
the existing boiler.
The application was received in this office on March 1, 2017. The application included a
check in the amount of$400.00 and Forms Al, A2, A3, B, B1, C4, D, and Dl. Emission
calculations accompanied Form D1. A Zoning Consistency Determination was also
included. The permit acknowledgement letter was sent by the Permit Coordinator on
March 2, 2017.
The project involved the installation of a 20.1 MMBtu/hr (600 horsepower) 150 psi Hurst
Hybrid boiler system. The boiler system consists of a Hurst 10"underfeed stoker(auger)
system with fly ash reinjection. Particulate emissions will be controlled through two Hurst
Multi-cyclone mechanical collectors in series. The boiler system was constructed in 1999.
The existing 16 MMBtu/hr boiler system will remain operational,however only one boiler
system will be operated at a time. A single set of feed water pumps will provide service
water to only one boiler at a time to ensure only one boiler at any given time can be
operated.
Specific Condition and Limitation A.5 was added to this permit revision(R13)for the new
wood-fired boiler (20.1 MMBtu/hr, constructed 1999, ES-4). The new boiler (ES-4) is
subject to the New Source Performance Standard 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc. Since
this boiler fires wood only and its maximum heat input capacity is less than 30 MMBtu/hr,
Page 3 of 18
Carolina Pole Leland,Inc.

Boilers /Multicvclones/Kiln Information
The wood fired boilers provide steam for the three (3) steam heated dry kilns located on
site. The boilers are each controlled by one or two multicyclones equipped with tubes.
The inspection and maintenance requirements and the recordkeeping requirements for the
multicyclones are described in Condition No. A (7) of the current air permit (3753R13).
The multicyclones are inspected at a minimum at least one time per year and records are
maintained electronically. The boilers are inspected on a semi-annual basis and records
are maintained electronically.
There were two stacks that were arranged in series and associated with the old boiler(ES-
1). The first stack was capped and a heat exchanger was located between this stack and
the emission point or second stack. The heated air generated by the heat exchanger
provided energy required to dry product in the third kiln. The heat exchanger is no longer
being operated because a new pole mill was recently installed which currently provides for
more stable fuel flow to the boiler.
The boiler feed system involves conveying wood waste by chain to the boiler inlet where
it is transferred to the combustion chamber and distributed across pinhole grates. In
January 2013, the facility discontinued the use of a pneumatic transfer system and now
uses a conveyor system. Approximately 50%of the fuel burns on the grating system. The
other 50% burns in suspension. The maximum feed rate is 1.5 tons per hour based on the
capacity of the existing wood transfer and feed system.
The boilers are normally fired with the wood and bark waste generated in the pole peeling
(debarking) process and the pole and piling manufacturing process (shavings, trim waste,
and pulpwood).
The automated airflow system that was installed in the past improved visible emissions.
This system is more responsive from a time standpoint to fuel changes(moisture,feed rate,
temperature, etc.) than the manual system it replaced.
Particulate emissions collected by the multicyclone are re-injected into the wood waste
boiler. The use of this fuel improves fuel efficiency, improves visible emissions, and
eliminates afire hazard. The new boiler system reinjects flyash back into the boiler at the
first cut through, not the second cut.
Flyash is defined as finely grained particles entrained in flue gases. Past and present
samples of the emissions collected by the multicyclone have revealed that most of the
material consists of 500 plus micron size particles of unburned fuel or carbon. Sand and
the finely divided particles associated with noncombustible bottom ash are barely
detectable.
Flyash collection by the multicyclones may be limited because the velocity through the
unit is so high that it allows the flyash to pass through. As previously indicated, the
Page 6 of 18
Carolina Pole Leland,Inc.
June 5,2020
multicyclone on boiler ES-1 is followed by a heat exchanger that was used to heat one of
the three dry kilns located on site. Flyash collects on the steel plates located near the
exchanger tubes at the end of the heat exchanger and is periodically cleaned. Flyash is also
periodically cleaned and scraped from each of the boilers fireboxes. The flyash is disposed
of in a landfill. A 55 gallon drum of flyash is disposed of every week.
6J Boiler GACT Applicability:
15A NCAC 2D .1111, "General Available Control Technology" — 40 CFR 63, Subpart
JJJJJJ applies to both boilers. The 6J GACT as Specific Condition A.10 reads as follows:

is required to comply with the tune-up and the energy assessment requirements no
later than March 21, 2014.
b. Compliance Requirements - As required by 15A NCAC 2D .1111, the Permittee
shall comply with the following requirements:
i. General Duty Clause (40 CFR 63.11205(a)) - At all times the Permittee shall
operate and maintain any affected source, including associated air pollution
control equipment and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with
safety and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions.
ii. Boiler Tune-up (40 CFR 63.11223) - An initial boiler tune-up is required by
March 21, 2014. If the unit is not operating on the required date for a tune-up,
the tune-up must be conducted within thirty days of startup. The Permittee shall
comply with the following with respect to the tune-up:
A. Periodic tune-ups: A biennial tune-up is required and shall be conducted no
more than 25 months after the previous tune-up. The following units are
only required to conduct a tune-up every five years: seasonal boilers
(shutdown for 7 consecutive months or 210 consecutive days each 12-
month period due to seasonal conditions; only biomass or oil), limited-use
boilers,and units with oxygen trim systems,as defined in 40 CFR 63.11237.
Each five-year tune-up must be conducted within 61 months of the previous
tune-up.

B. Fuel required for the tune-up: The permittee shall conduct the tune-up while
burning the type of fuel (or fuels in the case of boilers that routinely burn
two types of fuels at the same time) that provided the majority of the heat
input to the boiler over the 12 months prior to the tune-up.
C. As applicable, inspect the burner, and clean or replace any components of
the burner as necessary.The Permittee may delay the burner inspection until
the next scheduled unit shut down, but must inspect each burner at least
once every 36 months (72 months for 5-year tune-ups).
D. Inspect the flame pattern, as applicable, and adjust the burner as necessary
to optimize the flame pattern. The adjustment should be consistent with the
manufacturer's specifications, if available.
E. Inspect the system controlling the air-to-fuel ratio,as applicable,and ensure

delay the air to fuel ratio inspection until the next scheduled unit shutdown,
but must conduct the inspection at least once every 36 months (72 months
for 5-year tune-ups).
F. Optimize total emissions of carbon monoxide. This optimization should be
consistent with the manufacturer's specifications, if available, and with any
nitrogen oxide requirement to which the unit is subject.
G. Measure the concentrations in the effluent stream of carbon monoxide in
parts per million, by volume, and oxygen in volume percent, before and
after the adjustments are made(measurements may be either on a dry or wet
basis, as long as it is the same basis before and after the adjustments are
made). Measurements may be taken with a portable CO analyzer.
iii. Energy Assessment (40 CFR 63.11214(c)) - A one-time initial energy
assessment is required by March 21, 2014. The energy assessment must be
performed by a qualified energy assessor. An energy assessment completed on
or after January 1,2008,that meets or is amended to meet the energy assessment
requirements in this section satisfies the energy assessment requirement. This
energy assessment requirement does not apply to limited use boilers as defined
in 40 CFR 63.11237. A facility that operates under an energy management
program compatible with ISO 50001 that includes the affected units satisfies
the energy assessment requirement. The energy assessment must include:
A. A visual inspection of the boiler system.

The 2"d biennial tune-up was conducted on the boiler on January 16,2014. An energy
assessment was done at the facility on February 6, 2014. This was done ahead of the
March 21, 2014 deadline. A copy of the energy assessment was previously attached.
Carolina Pole Leland,Inc.has moved steam lines from underground to above ground.
This was recommended in the energy assessment. This has allowed the boiler to
operate more efficiently. The facility entered the tune-up and energy assessment
information into CEDRI(EPA reporting database)on May 20,2014. The 3r'biennial
tune-up was conducted on the boiler on January 27, 2016. The 4th biennial tune-up
was conducted on the boiler on February 11, 2018. The initial boiler tune-up was
conducted on the recently installed 20.1 million Btu per hour wood-fired boiler (ES-
4) on October 17, 2018 (paperwork attached to last inspection report). The 511
biennial tune-up was conducted on the old boiler (ES-1) recently on May 13, 2020
(paperwork attached).

and in accordance with the approved application for an air toxic compliance demonstration,
the following permit limits shall not be exceeded:
Affected Source(s) Toxic Air Emission
Pollutant Limit
Three steam heated dry kilns (approximately two X (Acrolein
9,000 cubic feet each and one X 12,000 cubic feet, ES- '{107-ein 0.1841b/hr
2)
Three steam heated dry kilns(approximately two X Formaldehyde
9,000 cubic feet each and one X 12,000 cubic feet, ES- (50-00-0) [504 lb/hr
2)
a. Recordkeeping Requirements - The following recordkeeping requirements apply:
i. The three kilns were modeled at the maximum batch capacity; meaning Kiln 1
and 2 together (9,000 cubic feet each) at a capacity of 108,000 bd-ft total
softwood per 55 hours (or 1,964 bd-ft per hour) and Kiln 3 (12,000 cubic feet)
at a capacity of 144,000 bd-ft softwood per 72 hours (or 2,000 bd-ft per hour).
This equates to 3,458,333 cubic feet of total wood dried annually. Thus, the
facility shall keep a logbook of all batch production cycles showing the amount
of cubic feet in each kiln during each batch during the calendar year. This
logbook shall be kept on site at all times and made available to the DAQ
inspector upon request. No reports are required to be sent to the Regional
Supervisor.
b. Reporting Requirements-For compliance purposes,the following shall be retained
on site for review and inspection by the Regional Inspector, DAQ at any time:
i. The kiln drying production rates as described in paragraph a.(i). No reports are
required to be sent to the Regional Supervisor. These records shall be kept on
site for a minimum of two years.
15A NCAC 20 .0315, Synthetic Minor Facilities" — The Synthetic Minor Condition was
updated with the permit modification on April 20, 2017 to reflect the increase in VOC
emissions (from 1.19 ton/yr to 1.50 ton/yr)from the new 2 0.1 MMBtu/hr boiler (ES-4)
LIMITATION TO AVOID 15A NCAC 20 .0501 - Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .0315
"Synthetic Minor Facilities," to avoid the applicability of 15A NCAC 2Q .0501 "Purpose

of Section and Requirement for a TV Permit," as requested by the Permittee, facility-wide
emissions shall be less than the following:
Pollutant Emission Limit
(Tons per consecutive period)
VOC 100 _.._.- _. -. ------
a. Operations Restrictions - To ensure emissions do not exceed the limitations above,
the following restrictions shall apply:
i. The total amount of board-feet dried in kiln# 3 shall be less than 144,000 bd-ft
per batch in 72 hours (on average) throughout the calendar year. The total
amount of board-feet dried in kiln # 1 and 2 shall be less than 108,000 bd-ft
total per batch in 55 hours (on average) throughout the calendar year. These
are the same operational limits as in the toxics condition above (A.9.).
ii. Kiln Annual Limit and VOC emissions; 41,500,000 bd-ft total annual actual
production = 84.9 ton/yr VOC. Plus: 41,500,000 bd-ft (which converts to
3,458,333 cu. ft. per year) = 13.1 ton/yr VOC from the Wood Preserving
operation. Plus: VOC PTE emissions from the woodibark fired boiler are 1.50
ton/yr. Summation=(84.9 + 13.1 + 1.50) =99.5 ton/yr VOC.
b. Recordkeeping Requirements - The Permittee shall record monthly and total
monthly(for the previous 12 months)the following:
i. Kiln Annual Limit = 41,500,000 bd-ft total annual actual production is
equivalent to 3,458,333 cu. ft.dried per year. The facility shall record the actual
amount of softwood dried in all three kilns in cu. ft. per batch per month
throughout the calendar year. The same limit applies to the wood preserving
operation (this applies to the pentachlorophenol or any other organic (VOC)
wood preserving operation and recordkeeping is required to verify this limit
also). No recordkeeping is required for the boiler use since the VOC PTE
(8,760 hours)= 1.50 ton/yr accounted for above.
c. Reporting Requirements - Within 30 days after each calendar year quarter,
regardless of the actual emissions,the Permittee shall submit the following:
i. emissions and/or operational data listed above in paragraph b. The data should
include monthly and 12 month totals for the total amount of cu. ft. dried per
month and per year on a rolling monthly basis throughout the calendar year. A
running 12 month total shall be reported to the DAQ Regional Supervisor every
quarter.
The first quarterly report was due by July 30,2016 for the 2"d quarter of 2016. This
report and subsequent reports have all been received on time and indicate
compliance. The most recent reports are attached for reference. In CY 2019,
Page 14 of 18
Carolina Pole Leland,Inc.
June 5,2020
1,980,032 cubic feet of wood were dried in the kilns. 1,718,324 cubic feet went through
the wood preserving operation. These reports indicate the facility is operating well
below the Synthetic Minor limitation(3,458,333 cubic feet).

The following was submitted in memo form by the Raleigh AQAB to the Wilmington
Regional Office on March 1, 2016.

Pollutant Averaging Perio Maximum Concentrati AAL %of AAL
m m3 m m3
Acrolein 1 hour 46 80 56 %
Formaldehyde I hour 125 150 83 %
The above toxic emissions were modeled at maximum batch production rates for all three
kilns. The resulting AAL % was Acrolein = 56 % and Formaldehyde = 83 %. (The
emissions from the boiler (DAQ wood waste combustion spreadsheet) were Acrolein =
0.0641b/hr and Formaldehyde = 0.0704 lb/hr. This represents an additional 0.064/0.184
or 34.8 % increase in the Acrolein emissions and 0.0704/0.504 or 14.0 % increase in the
Formaldehyde emissions. This results in a final AAL%(if linear) of Acrolein=75 % and
Formaldehyde = 94.6 %. The wood preserving operation was confirmed to have no
acrolein nor formaldehyde emissions. No reports are required to be sent to the Regional
Supervisor.
Per Session Law 2012-91,facilities that are subject to MACT/GACT rules are not required
to comply with the NC air toxics rules (2Q .0711 / 2D .1100). The 6J Boiler and the 6Q
Wood Preserving emissions were not required to modeled by the facility — but NC DAQ
Page 15 of 18
Carolina Pole Leland,Inc.

does have to provide a risk analysis to the public health due to this permit revision. The 6J
Boiler provided a small amount of addition emissions of acrolein and formaldehyde and
have been accounted by engineering judgment (linear ratio) and the 6Q Wood Preserving
was confirmed to have no acrolein or formaldehyde emissions. The % AAL with the
additional amounts were still below 100 %,thus, the risk to public health is believed to be
minimal.
The%AAL with the new boiler's emissions substituted in the place of the existing boiler's
emissions in the NC TAP Emissions Data table above result in Acrolein and Formaldehyde
emissions still remaining below 100 % of their respective AALs.
Facility-Wide Emissions Summary:
The following are the facility-wide emissions from Form D 1 which includes the new 20.1
MMBtu/hr boiler(ES-4) but does not include the emissions from the existing boiler(ES-
1) since only one boiler will be operating at any given time.

Inspection Comments
• Mr. Rouse was contacted by telephone to conduct a Partial Compliance Evaluation(PCE).
The permit, applicable rules, boiler maintenance procedures and recordkeeping
requirements were discussed with Mr. Rouse.

• Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. employs 51 people. 30-35 employees work onsite and the other
employees are in sales and trucking. Business is actually slightly up since the last
compliance inspection, which was performed on September 19, 2019. The Covid-19
pandemic has had only minimal impact on the plant. They have only minimal
administrative staff currently working onsite. No Covid-19 cases have been reported at the
plant or in the entire company as a whole.
• The facility operates from 6 am to 10 pm(2 shifts),5 days per week for treating and 6 days
per week for drilling(framing).
• The boilers operate 24 hours a day and 7 days per week (one at a time). The boilers only
shut down for maintenance or malfunctions.
• Boiler (ES-1) was reported to be operating during the inspection. The newly installed
boiler (ES-4) was reported down for maintenance during the inspection. They were
reported to be working on the water feed system to the unit which will be going to
automation. This new boiler is operating much more efficiently than the old boiler(ES-1)
and using less fuel.
• Last scheduled internal boiler inspection and maintenance on ES-1 was performed on
March 16, 2020. The internal inspection revealed all was good. The heat exchanger was
cleaned and some loose refractory was repaired and replaced at that time. Last scheduled
internal boiler inspection and maintenance on ES-4 was performed on August 26, 2019.
The internal inspection indicated all was good with no issues noted. The multicyclones
were clear with no ash accumulation and the ash reinjection fan was serviced at that time.
All accumulated ash was removed from the fire tube end and from the heat exchanger at
the bottom of the stack. Records are maintained by the facility electronically and are
attached to this report. The facility appears to do a good job with maintaining the boilers
to ensure they operate at optimum efficiency.
• Records also indicate the multicyclones are inspected at least once per year.
• The facility was hoping to have the newly permitted boiler(ES-4) up and running by July
1, 2017. NSPS notification of initial startup of the boiler was received by DAQ on
December 19, 2017 (letter previously attached) for the boiler to go into operation the
following day on December 20, 2017. This new boiler had not run consistently for a while
due to poor system design which had resulted in malfunction and mechanical failure in
parts of the unit. The initial conveyor was not conveying properly to feed the boiler with
wood fuel. Larger pieces of wood were getting hung up in the auger. The facility now
finally has this problem solved and the new boiler is up and running.
• All three (3) steam heated dry kilns were reported being used during the inspection. Kiln
No. 3 (12,000 cubic feet) is relatively new and began operating in the summer of 2016.

• All three (3) cylinders for the wood preserving pressure treatment process were reported
being used during the inspection. Two were reported processing the PCP treated poles and
the other was being used for the CCA.
• Carolina Pole was believed to be the source of an odor causing many complaints in the
past. DAQ felt the odor was coming from the large volume of product stored on site.
Various size light poles were stored on the yard in stacked piles where they could basically
vent VOC into the atmosphere. The odor was believed to be from the
Pentachlorophenol/Diesel (PCP) treated stock. Therefore, Carolina Pole has cut the
amount of inventory (treated poles) on the yard by 50% since January 2012. This was
achieved by not treating or loading the PCP treated poles that are exported via railroad cars
until their departures date is within one week. 50% of the PCP treated poles are shipped
by railroad car and truck to the Northeast.
• There were new quarterly reporting requirements contained in the air permit as part of the
new Synthetic Minor Condition. The I'quarterly report was due by July 30, 2016 for the
2ad quarter (April, May & June). This report and subsequent reports have been received
on time and indicate compliance. Copies of the most recent quarterly reports are attached.
• This facility does not have emergency generators.
• This facility has not received any NOD's,NOV's, or NRE's in the last five years.
• Caroline Pole Leland, Inc. does not receive 112(r) inspections. This facility does not
manufacture or store regulated substances above threshold quantities that would trigger the
112(r)requirements.
• Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. appeared to be operating in compliance with applicable DAQ
rules during this partial compliance evaluation.

Tune-up Record and Compliance Certification
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources:
Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJJJ
This form shows examples of what on site records should be maintained to document your tune-up.
Your regulated boiler may require additional detail, depending on your boiler design. This list is not all-
Inclusive, because It is not modeled after a particular system, but instead gives only general
Information that is applicable to most systems.
What is the purpose of this form?
You may use this form to meet the requirements for completing and documenting a tune-up
under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources:
Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers. However, you may also record the information
in another form or format.
SECTION I: INSTRUCTIONS
Check the applicable box below:
® My boiler Is subject to a tune-up requirement.
If you did not check the box above, do not use this example record. See
htto�l/www.epa.aov/ttn/atw/boiler/bQilerpq.htm for additional implementation tools.
When is this form due (§63.11225(b))?
Existing Sources: For each tune-up conducted, Sections I-V of this form are records that you
should keep to demonstrate compliance with this rule. The first tune-up should be
completed by March 21, 2014. Subsequent biennial or 5-year tune-ups, as
applicable, should be completed no later than 25 months or 61 months,
respectively, after the previous tune-up.
The first Compliance Certification Report (Section VI of this form) must be
prepared by March 1, 2015. Later certifications must be prepared by March 1 of
the year following the calendar year during which a biennial or 5-year tune-up is
completed.
New Sources: For each tune-up conducted, Sections I-V of this form are records that you
should keep to demonstrate compliance with this rule. The first biennial or 5-year
tune-up, as applicable, must be no later than 25 months or 61 months,
respectively, after the initial startup of the boiler. Subsequent biennial or 5-year
tune-ups, as applicable, should be completed no later than 25 months or 61
months, respectively, after the previous tune-up.

SECTION IV: RECORD OF MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS (§63.11225(c)(2))
If your boiler has manufacturer specifications for adjusting the flame patterns or optimizing total emissions of carbon monoxide,
maintain a copy of these specifications in your records.
SECTION V: RECORD OF FUEL TYPE AND AMOUNT USED OVER THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE TUNE-UP, BUT ONLY IF THE
BOILER WAS PHYSICALLY AND LEGALLY CAPABLE OF USING MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF FUEL DURING THAT PERIOD
(§63.11223(b)(6)(i ii))

Green Pine chips, dust,
and bark.
[Add rows to the table for additional fuels, as necessary.]
If you have more than one boiler that must conduct a tune-up, please repeat Sections II, 111, IV, and V for each boiler.
Otherwise, proceed to Section VI below.
d Report all fuels used In each of the units subject to the standard(e.g.,bituminous coal,#6 fuel oil,#2 fuel oil,natural gas,bark,lumber, etc.).See the definition of fuel
type in §63.11237.
EPA recognizes that not all facilities have fuel metering capabilities.Records of fuel delivery-instead of fuel consumption-will also meet the rule requirements. Affected
sources have discretion on the periods of fuel records maintained on-site.The records may be annual,monthly,or periodic,depending on fuel delivery frequencies.
e.g.,Gallons,tons,standard cubic feet(scf),etc.
