the extant material, unless a salvage timber market is found, and used (e.g. Sundance <br />Silviculture pole market etc.). <br /> <br />This unusually large volume is comparable to more than one year's disposition at the Anoka <br />County Diseased Wood Disposal Site. For this reason, if they wish to pursue burning options, 1 <br />would recommend that they make application to the PCA as a solid waste disposal site (PCA Rule: <br />7005.0820). <br /> <br />In summary then, I recommend denial of an open burning permit (PCA Rules: 7005.0770 A, <br />B). My understanding of my job responsibility is to act as an agent of the PCA in applying the <br />Air Pollution Control provisions of the Air Quality Division. Application of these PCA rules is <br />intended to protect inhabitants from undue health and safety risk. Perhaps the strict fire safety <br />measures could be construed, but the health risk and air quality impact would be <br />disproportionately negatively and unnecessarily degraded. <br /> <br />The scale of this proposed event moves it into an estimable but uncertain impact whose risk the <br />residents would unduly be exposed. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Bruce F.
