County Counsel, gave a:brief run down.on what the proposed ordinance would do.
Extra copies of the proposed ordinance presented to the public. -
~'S.~• O~ Mr. McCabe stated that t_he first part of the proposed ordinance was a
series of definitions. Agr-icultural burning guidelines is the main purpose of the
proposed ordinance. Amendments set out and discussed, Mr McCabe stated .that
this proposed ordinance would have an emerg+e~cy claase. Don Black, Air Pollution
Control Officer, stated that all counties,-have to get the rules and regulations.to
the State by the-21st of this month. The Conrdting Council that has been
appointed to look at these rules could be given"copies of the~ordina~nce and they
might act to.make them more stringent., Chairman Reynolds stated that the point
that Supervisor ,Gilman had made was.that the 1,5,-County Coordinating Council was

going to meet until after the passage of this ordinance. Mr. Black stated that
the State has the final word in this matter. .The State rules are less stringent.
Time spent disc~sssing the 10% total acreage burning rule. The
requirement that only 10% of the crop to be bur~iedin any one day set out and
discussed.
Hearing opened to the public. Appearing,in oppositiono
1. Wm. Thompkins, b413 ParkWood Way, Paradise-. He said the County
should stop all the burning in the County.
Appearing-i~.favore
1. Mr. Carol W. (Kelly) High, Richva'le. He said he was a rice
farmer and he has been requested to represent Butte County Rice Industry. He.is a
member of the Butte County Rice Growers. He said he felt this was a problem that should
be of mutual concern to a17. the residents in the County. He said that air pollution
was a primary problem to the Cali$~rni:a fara[e-r „ He said the rice farmer produces
a great deal of waste. He said they have no alternative but to burn this waste.
He pointed out that the displeasure of the smoke is as great to the rice growers
as to those in the cities. &ice Research Board has allocated funds for the study
of the disposal of these wastes. Rice-is a water plant and even though incorporated
- into the soil, the plant w.il1 not completely dissolve. He said the re .is a-real
problem in Butte County raith the desease that was discovered-in Ttaly years ago;
called stem rot. For some reason, this disease. has increased. The only known control
for stem rot. is burning. M~a High briefly..mentioned the economic problems of the
farmers. He said that agricultural farmers cannot control the price of their
products. He said that maybe burning can be reduced so that.it will not be so
offensive in the future. He-said that in-the past there have been several incidents
of severe accidents because of smoke drifting across the roads. He said that maybe
an encroachment permit shnald: be required. He .hoped that the County will help .farmers
re8arding the d~ri.fting of smoke onto roadways ana how the drivers can be protected.
2, Mr. Basil Mohammed, Yuba City and Chico. He .gave .his background.
He-said that-the farmers were not the only ones that made this air pollution
.problem. Cars running 24 hours a day contributed to it; industry, makes a big
,problem. He said the rice stubble must be burned. He said he does not feel this
burning of the rice stubble pollutes the air any more than the cars polluted the
air. He said the rice problem is a different problem than the other pollution
problems. Ric e: is a big industry. He appealed to the Board to help the rice
industry; he urged them not to curb this industry too strongly. It was asked. if
there could be a provision in the regulations than would allow the rice farmers
to burn .more acreage in-the event that there is a forecast. of a heavy skorm.
Mr. Black stated that that could be handled. He said that October, November and'
February are the heavy, burning months. The State Air Resources Board has assured
the County that there would, be at least 45 burn days. Mr. Black said he did not
see where the County would run~into any problem.
Mr. High requested that Section 3-15 be .interpreted for him,This
section .concerns special permits. It designates certain days as "No burn days".
Mr. Black said that growers could have permits to burn .on special days and with
the insect problem, and stem rot, that a permit could be issued right away. for
permission to burn. Mr. Black said he could not interpret the section to-mean
that if there-was a.storm front moving through, that they. would be able to burn
prior to that day. Mx. BLackstock recommended that on line_4 of .this section after
thef-word "days", that the words "and restricted burning days" be added. It was

felt that this should not be added. The flexibility. will have to come from the air control
.officer, There should be ~€lexibility when the forecast is that a.,air front is
,passing through the area-~ -Mr. Black agreed that those would be the best burning days.
3. Mr. Tom Martin, Cohasset Stage. He explained his feelings
concerning this ordinance and stated that there was a difference.in ag burning
and forest management. The elevation .for both activities is difference. He
said he could tell from his home what kind of day it was going to be-in tihe valley.
He said that in the forest areas, the burning was done during the night. The air
is calm a~ that time and they can spot fires that might get away during the period
of burning. Mr, Black told him that forest management did not come under these
agricultural rules. He said the forest problems would be coming up at a.later date.
He said that nothing that is placed in this ordinance would pre-empt the fire
prevention laws.
RECESS: 3s00P•m•
RECONVENEDa3;11 p.m.
The hearing was closed to the public and confined to the Board for dis-

of burning which is not related to agricultural will be covered by another ordinance,
Mr, Basil Mohammed, speaking from the audience, asked Don Black about
burning hours.
Don Black stated that there were two changes to be made in the pro-
posed ordinance. He detailed the changes and County Counsel will amend the ordi-
nance accordigglly.
