Rest of eastern Washington
Decision For: Friday, June 9, 2006
   
Daily Notes: Looks like a beautiful day with possible rain this afternoon.


Please Note:
If a recording is listed as CALL IN, growers need to contact Ecology in Spokane at 509-329-3400 Mon-Fri from 8-5 to get scheduled for a burn decision (NOTE: calling 329-3400 outside of M-F 8-5 will reach WA DEM who cannot help with burn call issues).  Calling in the afternoon is preferred. It is very unlikely a grower will get permission the same day they first call Ecology. - plan ahead.

The daily burn decision for Ecology regulated Eastern Washington counties is determined by the regional office responsible for the county in question. If you have questions about the daily burn decision please call the correct office.  If you wish to subscribe or unsubscribe from the listserv used to distribute the daily burn decisions see the links under "ERO listserv" and "CRO listserv" below.
  The Eastern Regional Office (ERO) in Spokane is responsible for the following counties: Adams, Asotin, Columbia, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, Grant, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Stevens, Walla Walla and Whitman.  Call (509) 329-3400 for questions concerning these counties.
  ERO listserv:  http://listserv.wa.gov/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=ag-burn-decision-ero&A=1
   
  The Central Regional Office (CRO) in Yakima is responsible for the following counties: Chelan, Douglas, Kittitas, Klickitat and Okanogan.  Call (509) 575-2490 for questions concerning these counties.
  CRO listserv:  http://listserv.wa.gov/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=ag-burn-decision-cro&A=1
   
  The three remaining counties (Benton, Spokane and Yakima) have local air authorities. See the listings below for phone numbers.
   
  Winds are indicated by direction the wind is coming from (i.e.: if you face in the direction listed, the wind would be blowing in your face)
   
Air authorities: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/air/local.html
Zone map: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/air/pdfs/ZoneMap.pdf
Ag & outdoor burning questions in:
  Spokane (509) 477-4727, Benton (509) 943-3396 or Yakima (509) 834-2050 (all local air authorities)
  Okanogan, Chelan, Douglas, Kittitas, or Klickitat: (509) 575-2490 (Ecology, Yakima office)
  Eastern Washington counties not listed: (509) 329-3400 (Ecology, Spokane office)
   
FORECAST: On Friday, I would expect unstable weather throughout most of the region. The ventilation looks good in many areas, but that often means rain. I would expect some Ecology permitted burning to take place, pile burns for instance.
