On the issue of methyl bromide in log fumigation use, the Division of Air Quality (DAQ) established an Acceptable Ambient Level and designated it as a state Toxic Air Pollutant, effective November 1, 2020. Read more information here.

On September 29, 2021, DAQ issued two permits for Ecolab, Inc. and Flowers Timber Company, Inc. Both facilities applied for permit modifications to continue operations within the limits required under a new state emissions rule regulating log fumigation.  You can find more information below.
