Proclomation Suspending Burn Permits on all State Responsibility Areas Within Tuolumne/Calaveras Unit~From Lisa Williams
Due to the menace of wildfires and their potential to destroy life and property, and utilizing the authority vested in me by Section 4423.1 of the Public Resources Code, and by the Governor’s Executive Order S-9-04, I herby proclaim that all BURNING PERMITS within State Responsibility Areas in the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit will be SUSPENDED beginning 8AM, Tuesday, May 6, 2008. Past fire history combined with dry vegetation, predicted fire weather and other factors, have prompted me to proclaim the following types of burning restrictions and exceptions.....
RESTRICTIONS:
All RESIDENTIAL “DOORYARD” (FORM LE-62) BURNING PERMITS within State Responsibility Areas and Local Responsibility Areas under contract to CAL FIRE in the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit will be SUSPENDED beginning 8AM May 6, 2008. Previously issued “Dooryard” permits will no longer be valid.
All Project Burn Permits (LE-5’s) must be inspected and approved before a permit can be reissued.
EXCEPTIONS:
Campfires within organized campgrounds or on private property are allowed if the purpose of the campfire is for cooking or providing warmth and is maintained in such a manner as to prevent the campfire from spreading to the wildland vegetation.
Project Burn Permits (LE-5’s) may be issued by the Department whenever it can be shown that burning or open flame is essential for reasons of agriculture emergencies, public health, safety and welfare.;
This suspension will continue in place until formally cancelled by me.
This PROCLAMATION is issued at San Andreas, California, this 2nd day of May, 2008.
