EFFECT: 1) Removes the provision allowing outdoor burning in areas exceeding ambient air quality standards when the Department of Ecology (DOE) finds that burning has not contributed to air quality degradation; 2) makes technical amendments; 3) adds fire districts as entities that define outdoor burning containers; 4) removes the requirement that the Department of Ecology must define the term "reasonably economical"; and 5) eliminates from statute the blanket prohibition against outdoor burning in areas where alternatives to outdoor burning are available, reasonably economical, and less harmful to the environment.
