On September 15th 2009, City Council adopted a resolution establishing voluntary “no burn” days for the curtailment of all wood burning devices to protect public health from wood burning smoke emissions.
From November through February, “No Burn” days are established when PM2.5 is 25 micro-grams per cubic meter or higher as determined by the Yolo Solano Air Quality Management District .

- Work with Dr. Cahill to continue the data collection and analysis during the next burn season.
- In conjunction with YSAQMD, log resident complaints.
