Agricultural Burn Permit!

     Just a reminder that burning by commercial agricultural operations requires a permit except when burning orchard prunings, natural vegetation along fence lines, irrigation and drainage ditches or natural vegetation blown by the wind. A grower must still comply with their fire protection authority’s notification/ approval process prior to igniting any outdoor fire even if an air quality permit is not required.

     Two types of commercial agricultural permits are available. Spot burn permits, which are available through the District, allow burning of up to 10 acres total area of unforeseen and unpredictable small areas such as small weed patches, spots of heavy residue, and equipment plugs and dumps. The cost is $25 and the permit is good for the entire calendar year.

     Field burn permits are issued for any burning which is definable and predictable. Any individual burn area, which consists of over 5 contiguous acres, would be considered a field and requires a field permit. Permits are issued by the Dept. of Ecology and cost $2.25 per acre. Applications are available at the District office.

See the AG BURN Page for more information and forms!

WASHINGTON without noxious weeds is a wonderful sight!

A new Kid's Web site is now available to help Washington's children learn more about drinking water and our state’s drinking water systems. You (and your kids!) can visit the site at http://www4.doh.wa.gov/kids/ The site highlights interesting facts about Washington State’s water systems. It includes an animated water cycle, courtesy of EPA, a trivia quiz, information on private wells, tips on saving water, and an easy way to ask Dr. Drip questions about drinking water.

FISH SCREEN UPDATE
Funding through the Fish Screen grant will end June 30, 2009. All Fish Screen projects must be completed prior to this date in order to receive cost-share reimbursement. We currently have fifteen landowners participating in this program. We will be sending out individual letters to each landowner showing the progress of their project and confirming the next steps. If any participant has questions in the meantime,
contact Jason at the District Office - 758-8012.
