<br />BURNING PERMITS
<br />
<br />Just the other day, a DNR officer stopped by City Hall to
<br />let us know that she found several residents conducting il-
<br />legal burns. As you mayor may not know, open burning
<br />is illegal unless you have the appropriate permit. Under State
<br />statute, any city, county, state or conservation officer has
<br />the authority to issue a citation for which a $50.00 fine is
<br />imposed for illegal burning.
<br />There are two types of burning permits available; DNR
<br />recreational and PCA open burn.
<br />As the name indicates, DNR Recretional permits are for
<br />recreational fires and may be obtained at Ramsey Municipal
<br />Center during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A recrea-
<br />tional fire is defined as being a maximum of 3 feet in
<br />diameter, in a permanent site ringed with stone or cement.
<br />Billows of smoke from a fire larger than that could arouse
<br />the concerns of nearby residents and result in a call to the
<br />Fire Department. If the fire departments finds the recreational
<br />fire to be non-permitted, the property owner will be held liable
<br />for the fire call bill. In addition to that, upon failure of the
<br />property owner to cooperate, the local police department has
<br />the discretion to call out the fire department to extinguish
<br />a non-permitted fire or a fire that exceeds the guidelines.
<br />The property owner again is responsible for the fire call bill.
<br />At present, the minimum fire call bill is $250.00.
<br />We would also like to note at this time that recreational
<br />fires are not to be used to burn leaves, grass, plastic, debris
<br />or building materials; only the burning of dry, clean and un-
<br />painted wood is allowed.
<br />PCA burning permits are available for larger burns of
<br />organic materials and may also be applied for at Ramsey
<br />Municipal Center during normal working hours. One of the
<br />major criteria for obtaining this permit is that the burning
<br />location is 600 feet from the nearest neighboring residence.
<br />The process involves an inspection of the material to be burn-
<br />ed by Bruce Bacon, the City's Environmental Specialist. His
<br />recommendation is forwarded along with the application to
<br />PCA for their final decision.
<br />Residents should also take advantage of this year's
<br />brushchipping program as a way of disposing of brush and
<br />limbs. If you have any questions, please call Bruce Bacon
<br />at 427-1410.

<br />On March 13, 1990, the Ramsey City Council recognized the
<br />80th birthday of the National CampFire organization and pro-
<br />claimed March 12 to March 18, 1990 as CampFire Birthday
<br />Week in the City of Ramsey. Members of the Star Flight
<br />Campfire group gleefully presented City Council with an of-
<br />ficial CampFire Birthday Cake.
