Attention: Shave Davis, Fire 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 15A 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.
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-qualit\Vair-qualitv-enforcement/open-burning/firefighter-infonnation.
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 68038.
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 Trainmg 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].
