The Burns Ban effecting both Upper and Lower Yakima County are REMOVED effective 10:00 A.M. today, Monday, December 27, 2010.
Ventilation conditions have improved, resulting in improved air quality.
YRCAA wishes to extend congratulations and thanks to all persons, families and businesses who, through understanding and cooperation helped us achieve an earlier end to this curtailment than we anticipated.
“We can’t do it without your assistance.”
Reminder:
No Residential Outdoor Burning is allowed from October 15th through March 14th.
Please Note: As with all notices, the jurisdiction of YRCAA is within all of Yakima County excluding Yakama Nation Reservation lands. YRCAA recognizes Yakama National Sovereignty, whose air program is addressing air quality issues in conjunction with the EPA, under the Federal Air Rules for Reservations (FARR). For more information, call (509) 952-3057.
We make every effort to ensure that all burn ban announcements and restrictions are posted. Always call or visit your county and local clean air agency and check the DNR fire danger for the most current information.
