INTRODUCTION The document Comoilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors (AP-42) has been published by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1972. Supplements to AP-42 have been routinely published to add new emission source categories and to update existing emission factors. AP-42 is routinely updated by EPA to respond to new emission factor needs of EPA, State, and local air pollution control programs, and industry. An emission factor is a representative value that attempts to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant. Emission factors usually are expressed as the weight of pollutant divided by the unit weight, volume, distance, or duration of the activity that emits the pollutant. The emission factors presented in AP-42 may be ...I appropriate to use in a number of situations, such as making source-specific emission estimates for areawide inventories for dispersion modeling, developing control strategies, screening sources for I. compliance purposes, establishing operating permit fees, and making permit applicability determinations. The purpose of this report is to provide background information from test reports .. and other information to support preparation of AP-42 Section 10.1, Lumber and Wood Products Manufacturing and Woodworking Operations. This background report consists of five sections. Section 1 includes the introduction to the report. Section 2 gives a description of the lumber and wood products industry. It includes a characterization of the industry, an overview of the different process types, a description of emissions, and a description of the technology used to control emissions resulting from lumber and wood product manufacturing. Section 3 is a review of procedemission data collection and laboratory analysis procedures. It describes the literature search, the screening of emission data reports, and the quality rating system for both emission data and emission factors. Section 4 details revisions to the existing AP-42 section narrative and pollutant emission factor development. It includes the review of specific data sets and the results of data analysis. Section 5 presents the AP-42 Section 10.1, Lumber and Wood Products Manufacturing and Woodworking Operations. .. 1 I. 2. INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION Wood products from sawmills and planing mills include lumber; round timbers, mine timbers, and railroad ties; shingles and shakes; cooperage; wood chips; and wood flour. Sawdust and shavings are not wood products in themselves, but are useful by-products of lumber production. Sawmill and planing mill products are classified under three Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes: sawmills and planing mills, general (2421); hardwood dimension and flooring mills (2426); and special product sawmills, not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.) (2429). Special product sawmills included in SIC 2429 primarily manufacture cooperage stock, wood shingles and shakes, and excelsior. The sixdigit Source Classification Code (SCC) for the industry is 3-07-008. 2.1 CHARACTERIZATION OF THE INDUSTRY' There are approximately 5,700 general sawmills and planing mills operating in the United States. There are approximately 740 hardwood dimension and flooring mills, and approximately 230 special product sawmills, n.e.c. Table 2-1 lists by SIC code the States in which the largest .. numbers of these mills are located. Total production from all sawmills and planing mills in 1987 was valued at $18.7 billion. _I. 2.2 PROCESS DESCRIPTIONz4 Although all lumber will not go through all of the processes available in a sawmill, most modern sawmills have equipment to accomplish all the steps described in the subsections below. For example, some lumber will not be remanufactured in any way (resawed or re-edged) but may go dirdy from the edger to the trimmer. Some sawmills do not dry lumber but sell it green, while others produce only rough, unsurfaced lumber. Figure 2-1 presents a generic lumber manufacturing process flow diagram. The specific processes that are found in lumber manufacturing facilities are described below. Debarking. Debarking is the process of removing the bark from a log before funher manufacture. One reason for debarking is to remove bark from wood that is to be chipped for board or pulp use because any substantial quantity of bark in the chips is detrimental to board or pulp 2 TABLE 2-1.

Debarking also provides other benefits. Removal of sand andbgrit along with the bark during debarking greatly decreases the rate at which saws are dulled, reducing downtime in the mill.

    (May 5, 2006) Garrett County ADDITION FOR MILL (2) Jesse Tomlinson was assessed of 80 acres called “Addition for Mill” on the 1804- 1807 tax list, after which time it was sold. See also Tomlinson Mill. AGWAY FEED STORE (3) The Keyser Ridge Creamery was built in 1922 on U.S. 40. It now [1976] houses the Agway feed store operated and owned by William and Robert Oester. From Paul T. Calderwood, “The Keyser Ridge Creamery,” Glades Star, 5 (September 1977): 33. AGWAY INC. (10) This is a large commercial mill built of sheet metal and located on the B. & O. in Oakland [1976]. ALLEGANY FURNACE COMPANY (2) The first furnace recorded in the county was that of Oliphant of Uniontown, Pa., built at Friendsville in 1802, Glades Star, March 25, 1941. However, when the Allegany Furnace Company established the Friendsville Furnace in 1828-29, it was described as the only furnace and only industry in the present Garrett County. It was a charcoal furnace with two forges, built on the north side of Bear Creek, a branch of Yougiogheny River, 0.5 mile east of Friendsville, per RIOM, p. 139. Glades Star, December 1963, p. 260, describes the location as on the left side of Bear Camp Creek near the highway, a mile above Friendsville. The furnace was designed to use the Carbonate ores of the Youghiogheny Coal Basin. Iron had to be hauled to the National Road and on to Baltimore. The furnace closed in 1834 and the forges were removed to the west side of the river a half mile NE of Friendsville, where they operated until 1845; in 1911, the wheel site was visible and one wall of the coal house was standing, RIOM, p.

  • Environmental Considerations of Treated Wood National Park Service – Pacific West Region
    Environmental Considerations of Treated Wood National Park Service – Pacific West Region Overview In support of the mission of the National Park Service, making wise decisions about using wood treatments will help protect the natural areas and biodiversity of our parks, and the health of our employees. Preservative-treated wood’s most important benefit is its resistance to water, fungal, and insect damage. Extending the life of wood products reduces the demands on forests for replacement lumber and reduces maintenance and replacement costs. Historic wooden structures that must be repaired with compatible materials or replaced with in-kind materials make durability even more important. Treated woods are nearly impervious to rot and insects, making them good for outdoor use. Wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) poses certain environmental and health risks, including the leaching of chemicals such as arsenic and chromium into the environment and workers’ risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals. Disposal of treated wood also proves to be an issue, particularly disposal by incineration. Due to these concerns, manufacturers of treated wood and the EPA reached an agreement to end the sale of CCA-treated wood for most lumber products, effective January 1, 2004. The following offers less-toxic alternatives to CCA, handling and use precautions, and other recommendations when considering using treated wood. Due to the toxicity and potential effects on health and the environment, the Presidio Trust implemented a policy on the use of pressure treated lumber. Standard operating procedure now prohibits the use of CCA, ACZA, CZC, ACC, and Pentachlorophenol. All dimensional lumber is now treated with ACQ as an alternative.
