Complete general and preservative specific packets on research, literature reviews and modeling tools for evaluating the impacts of treated wood used in sensitive environments.
In order to assure that only appropriate treated wood is used in aquatic applications, WWPI developed the BMPs. Treated wood to be used in or over water should be specified and certified in compliance with the BMPs.
Wildwood
Study - Environmental effects associated with the use of CCA-C, ACZA and
ACQ-B pressure treated wood used to construct boardwalks and wetland areas
Sooke Basin Study - Conducted by Environment Canada this is the best and most recent science available
on the environmental impacts associated with creosote treated products in marine applications
Sooke
Basin Creosote Evaluation Study - Addendum Report - An
update on the above study reflecting the results of continued study and monitoring
of the creosote impacts at day 1360 and 1540. Contains some dramatic underwater
