Sure, Copper Chromated Arsenate (CCA) was taken out of the consumer market '00 or early '00's. As was stated there were different treatment or saturations of same if that is the correct way to put it. .40. .60 were most common, one was touted to last 40 years, the latter 60 years, if I recall. .40 was a blue tag, and .60 was a red tag from the treatment plants we dealt with, I hauled tractor trailer loads of it directly from the plant, fresh and laden with CCA. EPA made this move regarding CCA
You can order it for farm, ag or commerical use, its not completely outlawed, but you will not find it at H-D or Lowes etc. You will find ACQ or another, one is ground contact, one is not, but its not the same as CCA. YOu have to be careful with fasteners as this newer treatment is not compatible with some types of fasteners, like deck screws, also remember those do not have any shear value at all.
I've seen it mentioned here, marine grade, fresh and salt water, if were me, I'd be ordering some of that from a lumber yard, or that detail below if affordable. Perma posts made of concrete would be great, but I priced them for our barn, too costly at the time.
Osmose was one name brand for many many years, but its change to Koppers now, heres a link to some information about CCA treated wood you may find useful
