Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 823 Wood Products facilities in this database, Bb & S Treated Lumber of NE reports the 238th-largest volume (14.1K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Copper And Copper Compounds alone is 89.7% 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.
Bb & S Treated Lumber of NE files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 321114 (Wood Products). Across 6 years of records spanning 2019–2024, the site has disclosed 14.1K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 3 distinct chemicals. Largest chemicals by pounds: Copper And Copper Compounds; Copper compounds; Sodium nitrite.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 14.1K lbs (92.0% of total volume), followed by water discharges at 8.0%. Between 2019 and 2024, reported totals increased by 44% - from 830 lbs to 1.2K lbs.
