First ACQ Use In West

The installation of a new wood roof over a 1.2 million gallon water reservoir in Glendora, Ca., marks the first commercial application of ACQ Preserve treated wood in the westem U.S.

Treated by J. H. Baxter & Co., ACQ is the flrst waterborne preservative for pressure treating wood to garner the EPA's "General Use" label. Since it contains no EPA restricted pesticides, it dramatically expands the variety of applications for treated wood in areas restricted by environmental concems.

Without previous treatnent, the Gladstone Reservoir's existing wood cover had become termite infested. Yet California State Health Dept. officids and the EPA were at odds over what was allowable in this application.

They discovered ACQ, and approvals reportedly sailed right through compared to approvals for other products used in incidental contact with drinking water.

Because ACQ contains no arsenic, chromium or other EPA restricted pesticides, worker safety was easier to monitor. ACQ treated wood can be handled the same as untreated wood of the same species.

lts unique anmoniacal copper quaternary composition is said to improve its effectiveness in preserving some hardto-penetrate wood species such as Douglas fir, the preferred species in the Glendora project. ACQ reportedly accepts paint readily without any special preparations and has tested equal or better to CCA and ACZA in resisting termites and fungi.
