Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  567 Iowa administrative code, rule 23.2,
  1  2 subrule 3, paragraphs d, g, h, and i, are nullified to read as
  1  3 follows:
  1  4    d.  LANDSCAPE WASTE.  The disposal by open burning of
  1  5 landscape waste originating on the premises.  However, the
  1  6 burning of landscape waste produced in clearing, grubbing and
  1  7 construction operations shall be limited to areas located at
  1  8 least one-fourth mile from any inhabited building.  Rubber
  1  9 tires shall not be used to ignite landscape waste.
  1 10    g.  TRAINING FIRES.  Fires set for the purpose of bona fide
  1 11 training of public or industrial employees in fire fighting
  1 12 methods, provided that written notification is postmarked or
  1 13 delivered to the director at least ten working days before
  1 14 such action commences.  Notification shall be made in
  1 15 accordance with 40 CFR Section 61.145, "Standard for
  1 16 demolition and renovation", of the asbestos National Emission
  1 17 Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, as amended through
  1 18 March 5, 1992.  All asphalt roofing and asbestos-containing
  1 19 materials shall be removed prior to the training fire.
  1 20    h.  PAPER OR PLASTIC PESTICIDE CONTAINERS AND SEED CORN
  1 21 BAGS.  The disposal by open burning of paper or plastic
  1 22 pesticide containers (except those formerly containing organic
  1 23 forms of beryllium, selenium, mercury, lead, cadmium or
  1 24 arsenic) and seed corn bags resulting from farming activities
  1 25 occurring on the premises.  Such open burning shall be limited
  1 26 to areas located at least one-fourth mile from any inhabited
  1 27 building, livestock area, wildlife area, or water source.  The
  1 28 amount of paper or plastic pesticide containers and seed corn
  1 29 bags that can be disposed of by open burning shall not exceed
  1 30 one day's accumulation or 50 pounds, whichever is less.
  1 31 However, when the burning of paper or plastic pesticide
  1 32 containers or seed corn bags causes a nuisance, the director
  1 33 may take action to secure relocation of the burning operation.
  1 34 Since the concentration levels of pesticide combustion
  1 35 products near the fire may be hazardous, the person conducting
  2  1 the open burning should take precautions to avoid inhalation
  2  2 of the pesticide combustion products.
  2  3    i.  AGRICULTURAL STRUCTURES.  The open burning of
  2  4 agricultural structures outside of cities or towns, provided
  2  5 the open burning occurs on the premises, all chemicals and
  2  6 asphalt shingles are removed, burning is conducted only when
  2  7 weather conditions are favorable with respect to surrounding
  2  8 property, and permission from the local fire chief is secured
  2  9 in advance of the burning.  Rubber tires shall not be used to
  2 10 ignite agricultural structures.
  2 11    For the purposes of this subrule, "agricultural structures"
  2 12 means barns, machine sheds, storage cribs, animal confinement
  2 13 buildings, and homes located on the premises and used in
  2 14 conjunction with crop production, livestock or poultry raising
  2 15 and feeding operations.
  2 16    Sec. 2.  This joint resolution, being deemed of immediate
  2 17 importance, takes effect upon enactment.  
  2 18                           EXPLANATION
  2 19    This joint resolution nullifies portions of an
  2 20 administrative rule of the department of natural resources
  2 21 which prohibits open burning, but provides exemptions to the
  2 22 prohibition.
  2 23    In addition, the resolution nullifies a provision which
  2 24 limits burning of landscape waste produced in clearing,
  2 25 grubbing, and construction operations to areas located at
  2 26 least one-fourth mile from any inhabited building.  The
  2 27 resolution nullifies a provision requiring that written
  2 28 notification be provided to the director of the department of
  2 29 natural resources at least 10 days prior to setting a training
  2 30 fire for fire fighter training and nullifies a provision
  2 31 requiring that asphalt roofing and asbestos-containing
  2 32 materials must be removed prior to the training fire.
  2 33    The resolution nullifies a restriction on the open burning
  2 34 of paper or plastic pesticide containers and seed corn bags
  2 35 resulting from farming activities which limits the burning to
  3  1 areas at least one-fourth mile from an inhabited building,
  3  2 livestock area, wildlife area, or water source and limits the
  3  3 amount of paper, plastic pesticide containers and seed corn
  3  4 bags that can be burned to 50 pounds.
  3  5    Finally, the resolution nullifies a provision which limits
  3  6 the open burning of agricultural structures to those areas
  3  7 outside of cities or towns and nullifies a requirement that
  3  8 all asphalt shingles be removed prior to the burning of the
  3  9 agricultural structure.
  3 10    The resolution is effective upon enactment.
