Seventh Annual Evaluation of MSU/RTA Alternative Preservative Study

This report covers the seventh annual evaluation of the full length crossties exposed as part of the

MSU/RTA alternative preservative study. A visual evaluation of the exposed top surface was

conducted for all ties at both exposure sites.

General Observations:

No unexpected results were found. Checks and/or splits were noted to be worse at Site 2

probably due to more direct sunlight exposure. Termite activity was not intensive as expected at

this site which again may be due to the sunlight exposure. However, the decay at this site was

active. Ties at Site 1 were more moist/wet due to the increased rain fall, shade and leaf litter as

well as the clay soil at this site and these ties showed an increased amount of decay in the controls

and more vigorous termite (Reticulitermes flavipes) activity due to these conditions.

A few photographs documenting the condition of the sites and some of the noted deterioration

can be seen below (Figures 1 - 8). The tie number denotes the position of exposure as recorded

on the plot-maps. Copies of the inspection forms can be found in the appendix.
