Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation (BC Reg 152/2019).

The Regulations provide key definitions, terms like “open burning,” “air curtain incinerator,” “smoke sensitivity zones,” and “vegetative debris”. The Regulations set forth general requirements for open burning, including minimizing vegetative debris, strategies to reduce smoke, prohibited materials, and setback distances from buildings and sensitive areas. Detailed conditions are provided for open burning in high, medium, and low smoke sensitivity zones, including allowable periods and specific requirements for different types of open burning activities. Certain exemptions are listed for specific types of open burning, and potential offences and penalties are outlined for non-compliance with the regulation.
