Comment | A recent newspaper article confirmed that wood burning fireplaces in the San Joaquin Valley are the source of 17 tons of PM a day, the largest contributor to the worst air quality in the country. PM non-attainment areas in States like Oregon and Utah are requiring EPA Phase II Qualified wood burning fireplaces and retro-fit devices to meet there obligation under the Clean Air Act. Even though new wood burning fireplaces have been banned within the SJVAQMD PM non-attainment area, EPA Phase II Qualified wood burning fireplace retro-fit devices should at least be included as a contingency measure in the SIP. These technologies are considered by Oregon and Utah to be "Beast Available Control Measures" BACM for wood smoke from fireplaces. |
