    NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING
    RELATING TO AIR QUALITY TO REVISE
    OPEN BURNING PERMIT FEES AND CLARIFY
    TERMS OF RESIDENTIAL, CONSTRUCTION, AND 
    AGRICULTURAL OPEN BURN PERMITS

    The Pima County Board of Supervisors (PC-BOS) as the governing body for the Pima County Air Quality Control District adopts rules for Pima County Code (PCC).  The Pima County Air Quality Control District operates within the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ).  PDEQ periodically proposes updates to PCC by and through the rulemaking process set forth by the PC-BOS.  This rulemaking is proposed to simplify the fee schedule for residential, construction, and agriculture open burn permits, and to clarify terms of residential, construction, and agricultural open burn permits.  These updates include changes to PCC Sections 17.14.080 and 17.14.090.

    Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt the proposed ordinance which proposes revisions to open burn permit fees and open burn permit clarification on the terms of residential, construction, and agriculture open burn permits.

    A public hearing before the Pima County Board of Supervisors will be held on Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at, or after, 9:00 a.m. in the Board Hearing Room, located at 130 W. Congress, 1st floor, Tucson, Arizona.
