My name is Marcus Williford; I'm a registered forester in the state (3077); and I do work often with EPD regarding aquatic impacts and restoration.  

Jackson County has a company or person violating the law in terms of emissions. For a full week now, the area is covered in dense smoke throughout the evening and morning. My house smells like smoke. Neighbors are also complaining. Driving was a true hazard this morning due to smoke. That hazard is fault of the company that ignited. 

Regardless of outcomes, I think govt agencies must identify the source of this issue. GFC already said they had no permittees.
