4. MEASURES AND CONTROLS
The results of a site assessment indicate that controls are either in place or need to be added to minimize contaminant
releases to storm water run off. Housekeeping is one area that can be readily controlled to limit the discharge of wood
debris and minimize the generation of dust.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) as well as other controls are used to reduce potential contaminant releases. Some
of our controls are as simple as ensuring that we maintain vegetation, such as grass on slopes to prevent soil erosion and
keeping outfall areas clean and free of debris.
All chemical bulk storage tanks are within secondary containment. None of our secondary containment structures have
any type of drainage system. Only personnel placing a pump into the diesel containment area can remove liquid. This
method prevents any release of oil from our containment system due to rain. Our chemical storage containment areas
that are not located inside a building have automatic pumps that will pick up liquid and place it into a bulk storage tank
located within a containment area. This liquid is then used in our treating processes.
Most hose as well as the trailer connection section is inside a containment area. If any tank or hose connections would
have to be outside the contained area due to an unusual circumstance, each connection would have a bucket underneath
to catch drips and minor leaks. A qualified employee with access to the proper safety equipment approves the hook up to
our tank prior to unloading and monitors the loading and unloading process.
All non -bulk containers, such as drums, are stored either indoors or within a contained area.
Finished lumber products are stored under sheds or in the yard until shipment. The lumber trucks are loaded over asphalt
or gravel areas. Prior to storing any treated lumber outdoors, verification that there is no drippage has been documented
(Ask to see drippage reports). Note. In 2006 four new sheds were added for storage of untreated lumber as well as
heavy retention treated lumber that was previously stored outdoors.
The drip pads are under roof and bermed/sloped to prevent any release. Any liquid generated from drippage or a rain
event flows to a sump and then is automatically picked up and place into an effluent tank. Visual, as well as some
documented Inspections are regularly performed on the drip pad and maintenance, such as sealing or cracks and coating
replacement, is performed as needed. (Ask to see any documented inspection reports).
All cutting of lumber is currently performed outdoors. Since this is a wood preservation facility and not a planer or sawmill,
very little sawdust is generated due to the cutting of lumber. Typically the total amount generated during a cutting would
be a pile less than 2' by 2'. Frequency of cutting is one or two times weekly. This operation is pre -scheduled so cutting is
not performed during a rain event and the sawdust and debri is picked up from the Holtech Saw immediately and placed
in containers. There is also a small saw operation used once or twice weekly to cut a few pieces of lumber. The pile
generated is generally less than 1' by 1' on a concrete pad. The sawdust is disposed of as a non -hazardous waste.
Various types of equipment associated with this wood preserving facility include but are not limited to pressure retorts,
mechanical pumps, fueling trucks, maintenance equipment, freight transfer vehicles, construction equipment and fork lifts.
Trucks, trailers, and forklifts are cleaned in an enclosed, roofed area designed for this purpose. The water is reclaimed
through an oil water separator.
It is recognized that maintenance of vehicles can be a significant source of storm water pollutants. Materials associated
with vehicle maintenance include waste oil, solvents and other degreasers, brake fluid, anti freeze, battery acids, radiator
flush, and sludge. The following vehicle maintenance practices are utilized:
Maintenance is completed in an enclosed area protected from runoff and precipitation whenever possible. If
maintenance has to be performed outside of the enclosed area, all possible means are used to prevent
spillage and approved cleaning methods (oil dry, etc) are used if any spillage occurs.
All used products are properly stored until they are sent for recycling or disposal.
Batteries, used tired, and used solvents are collected and recycled through the appropriate vendors
(Typically batteries are recycled immediately, so there is minimal to no storage).

A feasibiW review to determine if there is away to modify or change our operating procedures or install controls to further
reduce chemical exposure indicates the following:
o Non -bulk chemical containment— All non -bulk chemicals are currently stored in secondary containment areas or
under roof.
o Chemical unloading — Chemical unloading is performed under roof or in containment areas that will allow the end
of the trailer to be placed within this containment. Most hose connections at the tanks for bulk loading or
unloading are inside the bulk storage containment area. Any tank or hose connections outside the contained area
would have buckets underneath to catch drips and minor leaks. A qualified employee with access to the proper
safety equipment approves the hook up to our tank prior to unloading and monitors the loading and unloading
process.
o Chemical containment — All chemicals are currently stored in secondary containment systems that cannot release
without manual pumping.
o Particulate containment — Generation of sawdust is currently performed outdoors. Since these procedures are
used infrequently and can be pre -scheduled to ensure we do not release particulates during a rain event, at this
time there is no need to change our procedures or modify the location. Sometime in the future, if there is an
increase in the cutting of lumber, then moving or enclosing the saw areas will be addressed.
o Diesel storage — The diesel tanks used to fuel lifts and tractors are located within a secondary containment
system that cannot release without manual pumping. Filling the tank and fueling procedures are performed just
outside the containment area. Current procedures and training are in place to prevent a release on the ground as
well as emergency equipment availability at the diesel area to handle a release immediately to prevent rain event
contamination. At some point in the future, we will look at changing the diesel storage area to prevent rain from
accumulating inside the containment area.
o Treated wood storage —Treated lumber is typically stored outdoors. Prior to placing the treated lumber outdoors,
the material is documented that all drippage has ceased. This procedure should ensure that there is minimal
release of chemicals during a rain event from the treated lumber. The lumber is also not placed directly on the
ground, but stored 2-6" above to prevent contact.
To ensure that the BMPs and other controls are in use and working, employees are taught about controls in use and
periodic inspections are performed.
The measures currently in use or to be implemented at our facility to control contaminant releases are found under section

5. SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Spill prevention is key to preventing releases. Process controls are in place to minimize the potential for a release and
employees are trained on these process controls. All chemical storage tanks are located inside containment areas. The
containment areas cannot release any minor spills or drips unless liquid is manually pumped out.
Facility personnel responsible for implementing the Spill Prevention and Response Procedures areas follows:
o Tim Brown — Facility Manager o John Crouell — Yard Supervisor
o Francis Crouell— Treating Plant Sup. o Oliver Humphries—Treating Plant Op.
0
o Kirk Dail - Maintenance o
The above personnel perform visual and documented inspections of the facility's operational areas to ensure there has
been no damage to containment, equipment or releases due to chemical handling. At a minimum, one of these personnel
will be on site during operations.
Process controls in place to prevent a release are as follows:
o Daily visual inspections by above personnel and others to ensure there has been no accidental releases
o Daily visual inspections of equipment by above personnel and others to ensure there are no leaks
o Weekly documented inspections of equipment and containment areas to ensure there have been no releases or
equipment leaks (Ask to see documented inspections)
o Chemicals are handled and stored on concreted, contained, and roofed areas
o Preventative maintenance program on forklifts, equipment, and containment to discover and repair leaks,
damage, or other issues that might cause a release
All personnel involved with the handling of hazardous chemicals or waste are trained under 40 CFR 265.16 and 29 CFR
1910.1200. Any large releases will be handled by an outside firm.
The facility drainage system and detention pond, installed and operational in 2005 will allow this facility to potentially
capture any chemical releases during a rain event within the pond. Materials that can be used for absorbing or damming
