(a) The location, amount, and timing of any burning to be conducted in the forecast areas will be based on the SMC’s judgment of downwind effects and acceptable air quality. Every effort will be made to make the burn season for agriculture, timber, and wildland burning as short as possible. Burning may only be conducted for agriculture, timber, or wildland burns Tuesday through Friday. Domestic burning will be done on a zone-cycle system, with Humboldt County communities authorized to burn on approved Tuesdays and Saturdays and Del Norte County communities authorized for Wednesdays and Sundays.

(b) Burning will be limited to the hours of 9:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. on approved days. No ignition can occur after 3:00 p.m. except with special authorization from the SMC. Violations of the requirements of the SMP may result in penalties according to both YTC 21.10.450, Penalties, and Chapter 21.05 YTC, Air Quality. [Plan § 2.4, adopted, 10/1/2003.]
