Very little attention has been paid to the stormwater runoff quality from log storage and handling facilities. This project determined the concentrations of conventional parameters such as BOD5, COD and TSS, and 123 priority pollutants of stormwater runoff samples from a log storage and handling facility in Louisiana. No significant levels of priority pollutants were found and only about 1 to 13 of COD was biodegradable. COD followed closely with TSS, suggesting that effective control of TSS will control COD as well. The pollutant strength resulting from summer to fall storms did not vary much.
