Amador County – The Amador Air District Board of Directors hosts a public hearing on a rule change that would affect Amador County outdoor burning. Changes would occur to the “Rule 311.” District Administrative Assistant Kris Pierce said: “The rule change would be strictly for the Amador Air District.” Rule 311, “Miscellaneous Burning,” now says “material to be burned includes untreated wood, paper, plants, cardboard, tree trimmings, leaves, or lawn clippings.” Pierce said “by state rule, the only thing that can be burned is natural vegetation originating on the property where it is burnerd, so we are updating our rule to coincide with the state.” The new Rule 311 would say that “material to be burned shall consist only of natural vegetation originating on the property where it is being burned.” A complete copy of all the rule changes are available at the Air District office. The meeting is 1:30 p.m. April 28th in the Supervisors’ Chambers. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
