1 Field Scale Deck Study 1 Tomoyuki Shibata, 1 Helena M. Solo-Gabriele, 2 Young Cai, and 3 Timothy Townsend 1 University of Miami, 2 Florida International University, and 3 University of Florida Objective: Environmental assessment on in-service CCA-treated wood Untreated wood CCA-treated wood

2 Experimental Set-up sandy soil, 60 cm Deck gravel Infiltrated water Runoff leachate rain

3 Materials & Methods RainfallRunoff leachate SoilInfiltrated water Monitoring since September 2002  Rain gauge

4 Analyses Materials & Methods Water samples Soil AA Environmental Engineering Laboratory University of Miami

5 Ground surface Rainfall < 0.001 mg/L for As and Cr Runoff leachate Results & Discussions

6 Runoff Leachate  1 st year  2 nd year  3 rd year  Guidelines: 0.1 (Cr) 0.05 (As) Results & Discussions

7 Ground surface 60.0 ? Rainfall Runoff leachate Results & Discussions FL SCTL residential 2.1 mg/kg FL SCTL Industrial 12 mg/kg

8 Infiltrated Water  1 st year  2 nd year  3 rd year  Guidelines: 0.1 (Cr) Guidelines: 0.05 (As) Results & Discussions
