slow flowing streams or lakes, where current speeds might be as low as 1.0 cm/sec, are 468 times higher than the
flows created in these tests.
Preliminary modeling indicates that a pier sitting on 25 CA-B treated piling in freshwater flowing at a very low current
speed of 2.0cm/sec (typical of many small lakes) would increase the copper concentrations by 0.28 µg Cu/L at pH
6.5. This suggests that CA-B preserved piling can be used in most surface waters that do not closely approach or
exceed EPA water quality criteria. However, the models will provide a basis for conducting site specific risk
assessments where large volumes of treated wood are proposed for immersion in poorly circulating bodies of water.
