SUMMARY

This bill prohibits the out-of-door burning of wooden boxes or other wood material, paper and cardboard and the burning of demolition debris at solid waste disposal facilities.

The bill also eliminates as criteria for issuing any permit or permission for allowable burning the public health risk from toxic chemicals in the smoke plume and the practicality of locating the incinerator at least 300 feet from any abutting property boundary and at least 150 feet from any residential dwelling.
