We are goingto the Natural resources Standing Committee next week to try to find a timefor a miniwork session on the TIP becausewe were never able to set one up beforewe went out for public comment. We are getting very interesting but complicated feedback inthe districts about the open burning issue and we needto get NRC's guidance on how to proceed. We are going to suggest a possibletwo hour session on either June 23 or 24 (whichwill be afler our public hearingon June 22). Are you available on either of these dates? The week before isthe mid-year NationalCongress of American Indians (in Green Bay) Idon't know if any NRC memberswill attend but it is likely so it leaves us with only a few date options during the comment period. Looks like an excellent conference! Congratulations Pat Mariella -----Original Message----- From: William Doppler

I will put a copy of the agenda in your mail box. I handed out the packets you and Annie put together yesterday as well as copies ofthe air quality monitoring brochure. I also gave the Coorhnator a yellow copy of the PublicNotice1Hearing and the 

### TIPbrochure to be posted on the Districtbulletin board.
There were 9District 1residents in the audience and 3 officers presihng. I made the points on fromthe sheet (e-mail) I put together for all ofus.
After going over the open burning issues including the concept of prohibiting burning in the areas in which houses are close together I asked: Do you think the way open burning is handled now (permitand requirements )isjust right? Too much work/regulation? Too Little (need more restrictions including around houses close to each other) 

## - there needs to be more restrictions. When I asked if it is OK now, everyone nodded yes. No one said or noded when I asked if it was too much ortoo little. I asked who had gotten a burn permit and only two people raised their hands. One young man (who is on youth council) said that about 5 years ago someone living next to hsgrandmother had started a fire to burn weeds and the fire spreadto his grandmother's house. He said the fire was easily put outbut that they were all concerned. DeeSha Jackson said that this past week when she was in District 5 as part ofher work for GRICDOT someonehad started a weed fire and didn't have a permit. She said that the GRIC DOT staffcontactedthe FD and the individual said he hdn't knowhe had to get a permit. I asked everyone there to help us get the word out and pointed out that anyone can get a a permit applicaton at the DEQ, FD or the service center. It can be faxed to the DEQ etc..

One man who was from District 5 and who was there to help with a different presentation on churches, said that two years ago his grandhcildren started a fire by his home. He said the FD came out and put it out and told him he needed a permit. He said they told him he could be fined $10,000. He asked me What happens if you don't have a permit? 

### I said that the DEQ has not fined anyone yet under the Solid Waste ordinance, forburning. 

### I pointed out that the FD will made you put the fire out. 

### I also said that ifthere were repeat offenses, it is possiblethat the DEQ and FD would cite theburner and charge a fine.
Later in the meeting during theElderly program report, a man said that the elderly are wallung at 7:00 a.m. in the morning to get exercise. A younger woman asked ifthere would be any walking in the evening after people get home from work. The Elderly report presenter said: the 

### air pollution is worse in the evening sowe walk in the morning. Also, one woman came up to me during a break and said, I know this isn't directly Air Quality, but the Community and the Districts need lots more dumpsters.
