Additional Property Attributes

The 19-acre property with a 95,000 square foot main building and 6,300 square foot auxiliary building is used as a veneer and plywood manufacturing facility. By undergoing environmental assessment, the business was able to be sold and 55 jobs were saved.

Former Use: The property consists of a 19.4-acre parcel developed with a 95,000-square foot main building and a 6,300-square foot storage / steam chest building. The property is currently occupied by QEP Company as a veneer and plywood manufacturer. Operations at the property include log watering, warming and steaming, log debarking, veneer lathe, drying, glue spreading and pressing. Logs are prepared for the veneer and plywood process by warming and steaming in one of the ten concrete lined water vats located north of the main building. Water is continually cycled through the vats and is treated, as needed, by a pH stabilizer. Additionally, the water is heated by a wood-fired boiler located on the northeast portion of the main building. A back-up gas boiler was observed but, according to the site contact, Mr. Joe Erlewein, the gas boiler is not used. After the logs are steamed and warmed, they are then brought into the main building, debarked and cut to size. The veneer sheets are produced with the lathe, dried and sent to the glue spreader. The resin bulk adhesive is applied to the veneer sheets and they are dried and sent to be pressed. The finished product is situated on pallets and stored in the warehouse for shipment. The remaining wood chips not used for the production of the veneers is stored in an aboveground storage tank outside the north side of the building and used for the wood-fired boiler.
