(a) The application for, and receipt of, a burn permit from the SMC indicates consent for surveillance of burning activities and allows surveillance personnel to enter onto properties under active burn. Surveillance personnel include Yurok Tribal Public Safety Officers and the SMC. The SMC is responsible for basic burning surveillance and complaint investigation, and may notify the Yurok Tribal Public Safety Department if they believe that Chapter 21.05 YTC has been violated. The Yurok Tribal Public Safety Department may also independently investigate complaints, confirm permits for active burns, check certifications on site at burns, and issue citations as necessary under the jurisdiction given through Chapter 21.05 YTC.

(b) The surveillance and enforcement element of the SMP is intended to keep permit applicants in compliance with Chapter 21.05 YTC. As indicated in Chapter 21.05 YTC, penalties for repeat violators and violators exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are the most severe. [Plan § 2.6, adopted, 10/1/2003.]
