VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainme nt

Discussion: For all of the burn rules, except Rule 304, Land Development Burning Smoke Management, the proposed

changes will not have any impacts on air quality as they are not a substantive change to the District’s burn program. The

changes are minor in nature and make the reading of the rules easier and clearer.

The changes proposed in Rule 304 limits burning to a single or two family dwelling except where a demonstration is made

to the APCO that there is no practical alternati ve, restricts burning during days when there is a forecast of a NAAQS

violation, prevents burning when restricted by a fire agency, and requires an inspection prior to burning to assure that

burning will not cause a problem. Changes made were also for clar ity, simplicity and grammar.
