TIMBER. The use of timber in the marine environment should be based on
life-cycle economics. If timber is placed in the marine environment, it should be pressure
treated according to American Wood Preservers Association Standards unless state and
local regulations restrict its installation, cutting, use, or disposal. Conversely, the timber
may be wrapped by plastic according to UFGS-02462, Wood Marine Piling Flexible
site-specific risk assessments for each area containing a significant quantity of timber to
determine the impact on the local marine environment. The risk assessment method may
employ the software developed by the Western Wood Preservers Institute or other similar
systems. The assessment may also include a leachability analysis if required by the
locale. Most Field Divisions and Field Activities have applied biologists on staff to assist
in the planning and design process.
For treated Douglas fir and Southern pine, see Table 5-2 for examples of
structural characteristics as functions of preservative type.
