(a) For projects less than 20 acres in size, visual monitoring must be conducted by the land manager at least four times daily during and immediately subsequent to the burn at equal intervals. Monitoring results should be documented and monitoring reports must be submitted to the SMC within four days of the burn’s conclusion.

(b) For projects more than 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 by the land manager. A detailed visual monitoring plan should be included with the field registration form. The burn plan should include the method and location of visual monitoring and the interval between dispersal monitoring observations. Monitoring results should be documented and monitoring reports must be submitted to the SMC within four days of the burn’s conclusion. [Plan § 5.9, adopted, 10/1/2003.]
