Extension of Delegation Agreement: Arizona Department of Environmental Quality
end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation
Authorize the extension of the Delegation Agreement with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) for the issuance of open burning permits until May 23, 2026. (Fire Department/Community Risk Reduction) (Dustin Fields)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Extending this agreement furthers the Safe and Prosperous strategic outcome.
REPORT:
On February 21, 2014, the City entered into a Delegation Agreement (Agreement) with ADEQ whereby ADEQ delegated its authority to the City to issue open burning permits pursuant to A.R.S. § 49-107. That agreement expired on May 23, 2024. ADEQ and the Yuma Fire Department (YFD) want to extend the Agreement for two years until May 23, 2026.
YFD issues approximately 10-15 open burn permits, and about 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 related 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.
