     1. Within a No-Burn Area, as defined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Authority.

     2. After December 31, 2000, within any urban growth area having a population of 5,000 or more people, or within any incorporated city or town having a population of 10,000 or more people, or within any urban growth area contiguous with a nonattainment area or former nonattainment area.

     3. After December 31, 2006, within any urban growth area.

     4. Where the Authority, Ecology, or permitting authority has determined that reasonable alternatives are available.

     E. General Conditions. Considering population density and local conditions affecting air quality, the Authority or permitting authority shall establish conditions for all permits to minimize air pollution as much as practical. Such conditions may be general (applying to all permits) or specific (applying to individual permits). Conditions may address permissible hours of burning, maximum size or volume of material to be burned, requirements for good combustion practice, burning under specified weather conditions, pre-burn and post-burn reporting, and other criteria, determined by the permitting authority, as necessary to minimize air pollution. Unless exempt per Section 6.01.G, any person who practices or permits the practice of outdoor burning shall, in addition to any specific permit conditions established imposed, comply with the following general conditions:

     1. Curtailments.

     a. No outdoor fire may be ignited in a geographical area where:

     (i) Ecology has declared an episode;

     (ii) Authority has declared impaired air quality; or

     (iii) The appropriate fire protection agency or other agency of jurisdiction has declared a fire danger burn ban, unless that agency grants an exception.

     b. The responsible person shall contact the Authority or permitting authority each day, prior to igniting an outdoor fire, to determine outdoor burning conditions.

     c. The responsible person for an outdoor fire must extinguish the fire when an episode, impaired air quality, or fire danger burn ban that applies to the burning is declared. All small fires shall be immediately extinguished by smothering the fire with water or soil. All other fires shall be extinguished by methods including, but not limited to, withholding new fuel and allowing the fire to burn down. In this regard:

     (i) Smoke visible from all types of outdoor burning, except land clearing burning, after a time period of three hours has elapsed from the time an air pollution episode, impaired air quality condition, or fire danger burn is declared, will constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful outdoor burning.

     (ii) Smoke visible from land clearing burning after a time period of eight hours has elapsed from the time an air pollution episode, impaired air quality condition, or fire danger burn ban is declared, will constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful outdoor burning.

     2. The fire must not include any prohibited materials.

     3. Only one pile may be burned at a time (i.e. each fire must be extinguished before lighting another).

     4. The fire must not be larger than a small fire.

     5. Burning for commercial purposes is not allowed (i.e., when burning is not for residential purposes), other than silvicultural burning or agricultural burning.

     6. The fire must not include materials hauled from another property, other than charcoal, natural gas, propane, or clean, dry, natural firewood.

     7. Burning may occur only during daylight hours, or a more restrictive period as determined by the Authority or permitting authority.

     8. Until extinguished, the fire shall be attended by a person who is responsible and capable of extinguishing the fire.

     9. Any person responsible for unlawful outdoor burning must immediately extinguish the fire, except as provided for in Section 6.01.E.1.c.

     10. Permission from the landowner, or the landowner's designated representative, must be obtained before starting the fire.

     11. No fires are to be within 50 feet of structures.

     12. No fires are to be in or within 500 feet of forest slash.

     13. If an outdoor container is used for burning, it must be constructed of concrete or masonry with a completely enclosed combustion chamber and equipped with a permanently attached spark arrester constructed of iron, heavy wire mesh, or other non-combustible material with openings not larger than one-half inch.

     14. Any person responsible for outdoor burning must immediately extinguish the fire if it causes a nuisance or if the permitting authority determines that the creation of a nuisance would likely result from burning.

     15. Structural fire training, provided for in Sections 6.01.G.1.g and 6.01.G.2.e, may be performed by a fire protection agency provided the following requirements are met:

     (a) The owner and fire protection agency must have met the requirements in SCAPCA Regulation I, Article IX and Section 10.09 prior to training;

     (b) The fire protection agency conducting the fire training must have a fire-training plan, which will be made available to the Authority upon request, and the purpose of the structural fire must be to train fire fighters; and

     (c) Composition roofing, asphalt roofing shingles, asphalt siding materials, miscellaneous debris from inside the structure, carpet, linoleum, and floor tile, must not be burned unless such materials are identified by the fire protection agency as being an essential part of the fire training exercise and are described as such in the fire-training plan. Materials removed from the structure(s) must be disposed of in a lawful manner prior to the training exercise.

     F. Outdoor Burning of Residential Yard and Garden Debris. In addition to the requirements in Section 6.01.D and E, any person who burns yard and garden debris shall comply with the following:

     1. Only Residential Burning is allowed, per Section 6.01.C.21.

     2. Burning shall be conducted no more than 8 days per year, which shall be restricted to a season specified by the Board of Directors or Control Officer of the Authority, as allowed in WAC 173-425-060(5), unless a written permit has been issued by a permitting authority operating under a delegation agreement with the Authority.

     3. Burning shall be conducted between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm or a more restrictive period, as determined by the Authority or permitting authority.

     G. Exceptions. Exceptions to Sections 6.01.D and E. shall be made as follows:

     3. The permitting authority shall not issue a permit if it determines that the proposed burning will cause or is likely to cause a nuisance.

     4. The permitting authority may deny an application or revoke a previously issued permit if it is determined by the permitting authority that the application contained inaccurate information, or failed to contain pertinent information, which information is deemed by the permitting authority to be significant enough to have a bearing on the permitting authority's decision to grant a permit.

     5. All applicants for outdoor burning permits shall pay a fee at the time of application, according to a schedule of fees, established by resolution or other official action of the permitting authority. When the permitting authority is the Spokane County Air Pollution Control Authority, the fee shall be according to the schedule in Regulation I, Article X, Section 10.13.
