Meeting was called to order by Mayor Morrison at 2:00 p.m.
John Corra, Director of Wyoming DEQ, explained that they are
the administrators for air quality. He explained the process of how
the current law was developed and the rules and regulations to
implement it. Bob GilI-DEQ/AQD explained that current law allows
that a waiver may be granted that allows burning without the setback
distance as long as there are no complaints received.
Mr. Gill explained that a very small number of communities burn.
Most yard waste and vegetative matter is hauled to the landfill where
it can be disposed of or burned in compliance with the setback law.
Some other communities use composting.
Mayor Morrison explained that current law requires a five hundred
(500) foot setback space from homes or buildings in order to burn
vegetative matter. The waiver obtained by the Town from DEQ
waives that distance requirement. Cost for alternative methods
of waste disposal were discussed. He explained that citizens are
extended to the maximum financially due to the current water and
sewer project. Additional costs for disposal of yard waste at the
landfill, costs for transporting it and or collection costs by the town
would be too much. Landfill costs will be increasing again in July.
Councilman Scott AIIred stated it is a problem getting the material
to a drop area and~that not everyone can haul it or get it hauled to
be dropped off.
Pres Workman asked about the emphasis placed on complaints and
asked if studies are done in this area to see if burning is a real
problem. He pointed out often farmers burning stubble outside town
causes more smoke than in town burning. He reported on the history
and purpose of the current ordinance and suggested rescinding
the town ordinance. Jack Thatch expressed the need to dispose
of garden waste by burning. Dan Anderson expressed concern of
the time involved to haul the waste and the tremendous burden of
relocating the waste from his property. He feels the extended time
for burning seemed to help substantially. Jim Szlemko stated that
Yellowstone Park fires are good for the park to clean out underbrush.
If burning is good for the government, why not for the people?
Mr. Corra explained that EPA federal rule requires visibility must
improve in future years. Pollution control programs have been
launched and smoke is part of these rules. Tables are used to
calculate smoke on human health.
Councilwoman Jodi Lindsay expressed disagreement with open
burning. She understands it is a cheap, easy and convenient way to
dispose of yard waste but is concerned for the individuals through-
out town that must stay inside during spring or fall because they
can't breathe outside.
Discussion was held regarding past practices of scheduling open
burning and problems of concentrated smoke with the reduction to
only two days last fall. A longer period of time seemed to prevent
the smoke concentration. Also discussed was the procedure for
enforcing the local open burning, and the enforcement issues with
regard to the waiver. Administrator Grant reported that in the rules
the Air Quality Administrator has the right to grant or rescind a waiver
but there are no criteria for what is considered. Mr. Corra stated
they check on complaints and typically consider the complaints
when considering the granting of a waiver. Concern was expressed
that a complaint could be made with no data backing it up, but would
be an impact on the waiver decision. It was explained that they
do try to get complainants together to try and solve the problems.
They encourage ways to accommodate the request as well as
accommodate those with health problems.
Discussion was held regarding options that could take care of the
problem without cost to the citizens. Contacting the landfill board
regarding a fee waiver or a reduced fee for delivery of yard waste
was suggested. Recognizing that a larger window to burn may
reduce negative health effects was discussed. Having the Town and
citizens work together to accommodate neighbors with breathing
problems by disposing of yard waste through alternate methods was
also suggested.
Councilman Dickson reported a meeting had been held to discuss
solutions and anticipates more will be held. He encouraged input
from those wanting to burn and those opposed to burning so both
sides can help develop a viable solution.
It was suggested that the state is trying to handle a problem that is
very broad that perhaps should be handled locally. The state could
offer suggestions but give burning back to the local jurisdiction to
find solutions. Perhaps modification to the burning rule could be
made if the community established certain criteria for burning and
had enforcement procedures in place.
Jim Szlemko reported gathering many signatures in support of
burning. He suggested a waiver for burning for the entire year so
there would be no great influx of smoke at any certain time. Criteria
for burning could be wind speed and barometric pressure to check for
inversions. He also suggested there are more damaging pollutants
from automobiles than with burning.
The meeting concluded with the idea of continuing to seek a solution
to facilitate the citizens concerns while creating a supportive solution
of protecting rights. Meeting adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
