Show Page 12 The Ogden Valley News Volume I, Issue VII April 1999 WEBER COUNTY AREA OPEN BURNING SCHEDULE by David L. Austin, Weber Fire District Chief 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. 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 spring open burning period for the Upper and Lower Ogden Valley Areas of Weber County will begin on April 1st and will end on April 30th.

FOR ALLYOUR REALESTATE NEEDS HOMES - HOMESITES - RAW LAND COMMERCIAL NO OBLIGATION MARKET ANALYSIS ON YOUR PROPERTY Our Realtors are Valley residents EDEN OFFI CE 7 4 5 -4 6 6 3 2595 NORTH HIGHWAY 162, EDEN UT Burning permits may be obtained by contacting your local fire department. Permit procedures may vary according to individual fire department policies. For the unincorporated areas of Ogden Valley, fire permits may be obtained from the local fire station in Eden during regular business hours, Monday - Friday and Saturdays until noon. The written 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 does not relieve 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, including 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. Permits will not be issued for the burning of trees, trash, garbage, waste, lumber, tires and oil based products. 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 and fully extinguished by dusk. Permits are conditional under the “clearing index” system approved and coordinated by the Department of Environmental Quality, dependent 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.
