PART 1
GENERAL
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Termite infestation exists throughout the
United States and overseas areas with the exception
of Alaska. Soil treatment will be specified for all
types of construction where termites are likely to
establish colonies and make concealed access to wood
construction, including wood doors, windows, finish,
and trim, or to wood-product, cloth, or cellulose
storage in buildings. Soil treatment will also be
required for structures constructed of or containing
wood-preservative-treated items. However, soil
treatment is not required for power plants,
central-heating plants, water- or sewer-treatment
plants, incinerators, pump houses, and structures of
similar nature which have neither wood in their
construction nor wood or cellulose items stored
