Daily Crop Residue Burning Decision Reports

Burn Decision Information

Air quality must be considered before burning can take place. Burning is allowed if pollutant levels are within an acceptable range and smoke is expected to disperse with minimal impact to public health and safety, with special consideration for institutions with sensitive populations (e.g., hospitals, schools). Growers will be notified on the proposed burn date whether burning will be allowed that day.
