Wood preservation facilities, chromated copper arsenate: chapter B, table 14

Minimize losses of preservative chemicals from treated wood by

• providing proper conditions for preservative fixation in freshly treated wood; and
• controlling the generation and disposal of contaminated runoff waters.

• Provide for sufficient contained, impermeable floor and roofed storage or transfer area for freshly treated wood prior to application of the fixation process (accelerated or under ambient conditions).

• The storage area for fixation under ambient conditions should be contained and roofed, with provisions for recovery of drips and any infiltrating precipitation.
• Provide the fixation storage area with a drip collection system and an impermeable floor for collection of drips.
