Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 823 Wood Products facilities in this database, Boise Cascade Wood Products reports the 74th-largest volume, placing it in the top 9% of its sector. This one site accounts for 92.7% of every pound reported in Butler. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Methanol alone is 99.6% of the total.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.

TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that Boise Cascade Wood Products has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Ozark Materials LLC an Ingevity Co for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.
