(a) If smoke from the burn may impair visibility along a roadway, flags or signage must be placed to warn motorists of a prescribed burn in progress.

(b) For projects over 20 acres in size, projects near smoke-sensitive areas, or projects which may impact air quality for more than one day, visual monitoring must be conducted as described in the application. Monitoring reports must be submitted to the SMC within four days of the burn’s conclusion.

(c) Only the amount of material that could reasonably be expected to burn within 24 hours may be ignited in any one day. Material to be burned must be ignited as rapidly as practicable.

(d) Only organic materials may be burned; this SMP is subject to the limitations set by Chapter 21.05 YTC, Air Quality.

(e) If the SMC or another regulatory body finds that the permit holder is violating Chapter 21.05 YTC, violating air quality standards, or inundating smoke-sensitive areas, the permit holder has no more than two hours to correct the situation.

(f) In the event that air quality conditions change significantly during the course of a day, the SMC has the authority to rescind authorization to burn and the permit holder must immediately halt all ignitions and suspend new ignitions. At the time that notification is given to halt ignitions, the SMC will set time frames for mopup to be initiated and completed and will additionally publicize actions to be taken to protect public health.

(g) Land managers are responsible for intermittent monitoring for three days after a burn to ensure that smoke impacts have been alleviated. The results of this monitoring will be submitted to the SMC no more than four days after the burn’s conclusion. [Plan § 5.8.2, adopted, 10/1/2003.]
