§ 7C-1. Findings and purposes.

Latest version.

The board of supervisors finds that:
(a)

The State Air Resources Board adopted a particulate matter ambient air quality standard (PM10) in December 1982. Levels for the PM10 standard were selected pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 17 Section 70200 to protect the health of people who are sensitive to exposure to fine particles.

(b)

Research indicates that wood smoke is a significant contributor to PM10 levels that pose health risks.

(c)

The county desires to lessen the risk to life and property from air pollution caused by wood-burning appliances.

(d)

These regulations will significantly reduce the particulate emissions from wood-burning appliances that are installed or replaced subsequent to the adoption of this chapter.
