RESOLUTION NO. 84-05
A RESOLUTION OBJECTING TO DEQ BACKYARD BURNING, BAN POLICY AND PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the Oregon Legislature has delayed implementation of any backyard
burning ban until the Department of Environmental Quality establishes a
workable alternative disposal process; and
WHEREAS, the proposed processes to date are found by the City of Tigard to be
unworkable; and
WHEREAS, there has yet been no significant data established as to the health
hazard risk of continued backyard burning; and

air quality, except under extreme conditions when other options to an outright
ban might prove acceptable.
NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED the City of Tigard, on behalf of its citizens, hereby objects
to the DEQ backyard burning program and, further, that the City of Tigard
requests closer Legislative review of the policy as presently stated.
