Reminder on Field Burning

We at the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) are doing more outreach this year to make sure that all growers and the public at large are aware of the open burning regulations decided upon by the state of Idaho. Information for open burning of any kind is found on our website http://www.deq.idaho.gov/.

Growers can register their fields and pay online to burn their fields for crop residue removal. Growers will then be given approval to burn crop residue dependent upon air quality and meteorological conditions. This is a state of Idaho regulation and if all growers will follow the rules, they will be allowed to keep burning their CRB.

If you have any questions or want more information including flyers, contact me at 528-2650, 530-0744, or email Kathleen.Price@deq.idaho.gov.

Thank you,
Kathleen Price
