County officials say garbage incinerators will be prohibited under ban
Summary
A question about whether household or garbage incinerators are allowed was answered in the negative: officials said garbage incinerators that produce ash and visible sparks are not permitted under the burn ban.
A committee member asked whether incinerators would be allowed under the proposed ban. An agency official replied that garbage incinerators "would not be allowed, those garbage incinerators," because they produce ash and visible sparks.
Officials noted that even nighttime burns from such devices can emit sparks and that such activity would fall under the prohibition on ash-producing burns. The comment was made in the context of countywide restrictions and did not reference any carve-outs for particular operations.
The exchange clarified that the declaration language is intended to capture ash-producing incinerators while permitting non-ash-producing, controlled uses consistent with the ban language.
