“The Winter Spare the Air program runs from November 1 through the end of
February. During these months it is illegal to burn wood during a Winter
Spare the Air Alert.”
Why is the regulation necessary? Why doesn’t the Air District rely on the
voluntary compliance of residents?
The Winter Spare the Air program was a voluntary outreach campaign for
nearly two decades. Unfortunately, voluntary reductions did not achieve
clean air standards. Therefore, the regulation with the mandatory program is
necessary to reduce the wood smoke emissions and protect public health. http://sparetheair.org/Get-Involved/Your-Community/Resource-Tea
