Learn how to register your EPA-certified or pellet-fueled wood stove for a sole source of heat exemption from Spare the Air Alert burn bans.
Regulation 6, Rule 3: Woodburning Devices allows for exemptions from Spare the Air Alert Mandatory Burn Bans if the sole source of heat is a wood-burning device. An exemption requires that the wood-burning device be EPA-certified or pellet-fueled, and that it also be registered with the Air District. Qualification for the exemption is subject to verification. An open-hearth fireplace does not qualify for an exemption.
EPA-certified or pellet-fueled devices must be registered with the Air District or they will be subject to penalties for violation of the wood burning rule if used during a Spare the Air Alert Mandatory Burn Ban.
Please check the Air District's Wood Smoke Reduction Incentive Program for funding availability to upgrade to cleaner alternatives to wood burning.
