Permit: NCS000512 Owner - Facility: Hoover Treated Wood Products Inc
Inspection Date: 12/06/2022 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Inspection was in response to the permit renewal
The last DMRs available for the facility in the Laserfiche Public Portal are from 2019. Make sure to submit DMRs in
accordance with permit requirements. Please send analytical data from 2020-2022 via email to [e-mail]
for review during the permit renewal if they have not already been provided.
The facility operates on a small parcel of land adjacent to a large saw mill. Site conditions match the site map provided with
the application. The outfall is not listed on the map, but the site drains to one outfall located adjacent to Trueblood Road,
near the southern entrance to the site. The outfall is labeled onsite.
The facility transitioned to treating wood with copper napthenate. All treatment takes place inside the treatment plant.
Products were stated to be dried within the treatment plant as much as possible beforethe product is transferred to the drip
pad. There is residue of the copper napthenate material visible on the drip pad. This may need to be addressed through the
polluton prevention and good housekeeping portion of the SWPPP. The drip pad is contained under a metal roof, but rain
may come into contact with the drip pad during a heavy storm event where it is raining sideways. Measures are taken to
prevent the treated wood product from getting wet. Unloading and loading of product is done is this area as well. There was
no visible residue outside of the drip pad. Filters used in the process are labeled as hazardous waste and stored in barrels in
the drip pad while waiting for disposal. There are tanks at the exterior of the facility that were either once used in the process
or currently used. Tanks are stored in concrete bermed vaults. Any rain water is pumped and recycled into the system.
The splitting shed identified on the facility map is mainly used for wrapping treated wood with paper packaging now.
Maintenance to equipment also happens in the splitting shed as needed. Used oil is stored in propper secondary
containment. A diesel tank is also located in the shed in propper secondary containment.
