Mr. Kendall,
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 15A 2D .1900. Please notify
this office with the NESHAP # once you receive it, and before proceeding with the
Firefighter training. 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. The Charlotte forecast area includes Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell South of Interstate 40,
Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Union, and York Counties. The Hickory forecast area includes
Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, and Catawba Counties.
Open burning is prohibited in the above noted 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 the Internet at
https://deq.nc.gov/ (click on the Air Quality Forecasts button).
This office has revised the "Firefighter Training Notification" (Revised 10/2020) form. If you
did not use the form for this Firefighter Training Notification, please do so in the future. The
form can be found online at https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/air-qualitv/air-qualitv-
enforcement/open-burning/firefighter-information.
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.
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.
