DAQ Firefighter Training Notification Approval ID # 1791

St. Stephens Fire Department
Attention: Mr. Josh Randolph, Deputy Chief
Based on the information submitted in the attached NC Division of Air Quality Firefighter Training
Notification form, (attached to this email) it appears that the open burning will be conducted in
accordance with North Carolina Administrative Code ISA 2D .1900. Also, please notify us prior to any
changes in the proposed training exercise.
Current open burning rules include some restrictions based on ozone or particulate air quality
forecasts. As part of the North Carolina Air Awareness Program, Meteorologists issue the forecasts at 3
p.m. every day for the following day in order to allow you to plan the next day's operations.
Open burning is prohibited in counties on days when the Air Quality Index forecast is "code orange",
"code red", or "code purple". The Division of Air Quality discourages open burning on those days in
other areas of the state. On such "orange", "red" or "purple" days, there is a high potential for ozone or
particulate levels to exceed the standard. Open burning is allowed on "code green" and "code yellow"
days. This information is available on our website. See link in the paragraph below.
The Division of Public Health, Health Hazards Control Unit (HHCU) requires prior notification of the live
fire training exercise on an Asbestos Permit Application and Notification for Demolition/Renovation
form (DHHS3768). Form DHHS3768 must be completed and submitted at least 10 working days prior to
the start date. HHCU will then assign a National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) number to your fire training exercise. According to your notification form, the NESHAP
number for this training exercise is 67684.
For future reference. The Mooresville Regional Office of the Division of Air Quality will need sufficient
time to approve your training approval once we receive the NESHAP number and your Fire Training
form. You may submit your Firefighter Training Form without the NESHAP #, but this office will not be
able to issue the approval without the NESHAP #. Please be cognizant of these time frames when
planning your training exercises in order to get all of your approvals in time for your training.
If you have any questions with reference to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the
Mooresville Regional office at [phone] or myself or Ryan Mills at [phone] or
[e-mail].
