You can learn about the proposed new
ban on outdoor burning and add your
public comment:
DEC Adds Public Hearings on Proposed
Rule to Eliminate Open Burning
Statewide - NYS Dept. of
Environmental Conservation
Additional Hearings Scheduled for
Further Opportunity to Comment In an
effort to expand opportunities for
public input, New York State
Department of Environmental
Conservation has scheduled
additional hearings on the proposed
changes to extend the ban on open
burning statewide. The proposed
rule would ban most open burning
statewide. Currently, it is only
banned in cities, villages and in
towns with population greater than
20,000. In addition, the revised
rule will limit agricultural burning
to naturally grown products such as
vines, branches, leaves and stubble.
It will also specifically allow such
things as fire training, small
cooking and camp fires, and
ceremonial fires (e.g., proper
disposal of U.S. flags by open
burning). Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2008,
Public Hearing: 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.;
Information Session: 4 p.m. - 5 p.m.
at Jamestown Community College,
Training Center, Room 117, 10785
Bennett Road (Route 60), Dunkirk, NY
14048. --Press

Get It! By getting the book.
On the most crucial issue of our time—Is mankind
achieving a sustainable environment — I argue that
the public, and even scientists, are missing the
obvious truth about our environmental problems,
believing mistakenly that there is room for
compromise with Nature.
