Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) No
					 person shall knowingly set or allow agricultural or prescribed burning unless
					 he or she has a valid permit from a district or designated agency. No burning
					 shall be conducted pursuant to such permit without specific district approval
					 consistent with these Guidelines. Burning conducted pursuant to each permit
					 must comply with all conditions specified on the permit. A violation of this
					 subsection is a violation of section
					 41852
					 of the California Health and Safety Code.
(b) The form of burning permits shall be
					 prepared by the air districts in consultation with the designated
					 agencies.
(c) The form of the
					 permit shall contain the following words or words of similar import: "This
					 permit is valid only on those days during which agricultural burning, including
					 prescribed burning, is not prohibited by the State Air Resources Board or by an
					 air district pursuant to section
					 41855
					 of the Health and Safety Code, and when burning on the lands identified herein
					 has been approved by the air district."
(d) Each air district shall provide the
					 designated agencies within the district with a copy of these Guidelines,
					 related information on state laws, air district rules and regulations, and
					 other information as appropriate.
(e) An air district may, by special permit,
					 authorize agricultural burning, including prescribed burning, on days
					 designated by the ARB as no-burn days if the denial of such permit would
					 threaten imminent and substantial economic loss. In authorizing such burning, a
					 district shall limit the amount of material which can be burned in any one day
					 and only authorize burning which is not likely to cause or contribute to
					 exceedences of air quality standards or result in smoke impacts to smoke
					 sensitive areas.
(f) Permits issued
					 by designated agencies shall be subject to these Guidelines and to the rules
					 and regulations of the district. Designated agencies shall submit to the air
					 districts information as specified by the air district.
(g) Each applicant for a permit shall provide
					 information required by the designated agency for fire protection
					 purposes.
(h) Each applicant for a
					 permit shall provide information requested by the district.
