Weber County Announces Open Burn Schedule It is that time of year again when many are cleaning up yards, gardens and ditches. This activity also brings about the need to establish a burning period as governed by the Department of Environmental Quality for the burning of accumulated dead and dried vegetation, leaves and trimmings. The county is allowed a 30-day clean-up burning period for purposes that do not normally qualify as agricultural. Burning for farming/agricultural or horticultural purposes may burn outside of this regulated burning period. The formal burn period for those who own under five acres of property begins April 15, and officially ends May 13. Burning permits may be obtained at Weber Fire District, Station Two, located at 550 East 2200 north, in Eden during regular business hours, Monday through Friday and Saturdays until noon. There is no charge for burning permits. The written permit identifies the products that may not be burned, as well as safety and fire control requirements. The burning permit shall be permission to start and maintain a fire under prescribed conditions, and serve as a notification of intent to burn. The burning permit by no means relieves an individual from personal liability due to damages should the fire escape control. The permits are issued for the burning of agricultural type products only and include the following: Burning of weed growth along ditch banks incident to clearing these ditches for irrigation purposes; burning of weeds and brush along fence lines; field stubble; leaves; pruning from trees, bushes and plants. Items that are not permitted for burning are: timber, rubbish, trees, cardboard, roofing materials, tires, petroleum products, structures, lumber, construction scraps and trash. A competent adult must be in attendance and supervise all fires at all times, until the fire is extinguished. Burning is prohibited to within 50 feet of structures, and provisions must be made to prevent the spread of fire within the same distance. Adequate provisions and manpower must also be available to control the spread of fire. Burning must be completed by dusk and fully extinguished. Permits are conditional under the “clearing index” system approved and coordinated by the Department of Environmental Quality, dependant on local weather conditions. The clearing index must be above 500 for permissible burning. Your cooperation and support in preventing unnecessary injury, damages and losses due to ineffective burning control during this season is greatly appreciated.
