More than 80 percent of the treated wood manufactured in this country prior to December 2003 was treated with a process called CCA. Chromated copper arsenate... it’s also called salt treated, or wolmanized.

It’s what makes the wood look green. If your planks aren’t green they weren’t treated with CCA, but with an alternative.
