SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Authorize a Delegation Agreement with ADEQ for the issuance of open burning permits for a term of 10 years from effective date. The current Delegation Agreement will expire on May 23, 2026. (Yuma Fire Department) (John Louser)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Extending this agreement furthers the City Council’s Safe and Prosperous strategic outcome by addressing fire safety concerns and assuring that air quality and safety standards are met.
REPORT:
On February 21, 2014, the City entered into an agreement with ADEQ whereby ADEQ delegated its authority to the City to issue open burning permits pursuant to A.R.S. § 49-107. The 2014 Agreement was then extended until May 23, 2026, by Resolution R2024-017.
The City of Yuma Fire Department (YFD) issues approximately 10-15 open burn permits, and around five bonfire permits annually on behalf of ADEQ. Not only are fire safety concerns addressed in the application process, but the permits are also reviewed for compliance with relevant Arizona Administrative Code as it relates to air quality and safety. Historically, ADEQ has periodically audited the program and has taken copies of all the issued burn permits within the audit period to account for volume of emissions. ADEQ also provides feedback periodically on the permit applications to ensure ADEQ has the data it needs for its air quality program.
