CCA Guidance - Questions and Answers - June 17, 2004
As of December 31, 2003, wood intended to be used in residential settings cannot be treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA). Existing stocks of the wood may be sold by retailers until such stocks are exhausted, and consumers may continue to buy and use the wood for as long as it is available. In order to ensure clear guidance to wood treaters and others on what uses of CCA are allowed and what uses are discontinued, EPA has prepared this guidance document to ensure that CCA is being used consistently with the terms of the December 31st phase-out. Since there are so many types of dimensional lumber with a variety of uses, it is important to provide clear, easy-to-understand, and consistent guidance for the uses that can continue. Similarly, it is also important to specifically identify the types of wood that can no longer be treated with CCA products. EPA Question & Answer
