Chapter:

OPEN BURNING

Overview

RULE:

5I-2.003	Definitions
5I-2.004	Open Burning Not Allowed
5I-2.006	Open Burning Allowed

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this proposed rule is to bring the reference to agricultural black plastic into line with the statutory citation in Chapter 403, F.S.
We are including in this revision the new open burning certification program for Certified Pile Burning. The rule outlines how to become a certified pile burner and what is required of a certified pile burner when they are using their certification. It also outlines how they can lose their certification.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule changes are to more clearly define the difference between the Department’s certification programs for acreage burns and for the new certified pile burning program which is being added to the Rule 5I-2.006, F.A.C. It also highlights the advantages of being a certified burner for either acreage or broadcast. There is clarification concerning the burning of agricultural plastic to bring it in line with proposed changes from FDEP. The language of the proposed rule has been simplified to facilitate the understanding of all Floridians.
