Burning Permits Required to Burn Crop Residues

The Idaho Department of Enviormental Quality has asked us to remind growers that a DEQ permit is required to burn crop residue and stubble.  Below is information about the regulations and the program and the contact information if you have a question or need to burn crop residue.---Chad

Burning Crop Residue
The crop residue burning (CRB) program is designed to enable growers to burn under certain conditions while protecting public health from smoke impacts. The program is managed by DEQ on lands other than the five Indian Reservations in Idaho.

Under the CRB program, growers must obtain approval from DEQ before burning by registering for a Permit-by-Rule at least 30 days before they want to burn. Detailed information on when and where the burn is to take place is required on the registration. A $2 fee per acre registered must also be paid at least seven days in advance of the burn. In addition, growers must obtain other permits, such as a fire safety permit, if required by other agencies.
