Outdoor Burning
A burn permit must be obtained prior to conducting any
burning. Currently, Michigan open burning rules allow the burning of household
waste from a one or two family dwelling, however, this must be conducted
in a burn barrel.
The DNRE is proposing to amend Michigan's Air Pollution Control Rules
& Solid Waste Management Rules to phase out historic exemptions that
have allowed households to burn their trash. The changes would still allow
the burning of grass clippings, leaves, trees, and yard waste in communities
that allow it. As of March 21, 2011, the DEQ suspended this proposed rule
package pending further review. This means that the proposed changes will
not take effect April 1, 2011. Additional information and updates will
be posted on the DEQ
website.
Outdoor wood fire furnaces (OWFs) are a common source of air pollution.
Improperly designed, installed, and operated OWFs can lead to excessive
emissions and adversely affect quality and health of nearby residents.
These problems can intensify if the stack is not high enough to allow
for adequate dispersion of the pollutants or if the unit is not designed
properly. If you plan on installing an outdoor wood furnace, you will
need a mechanical permit.
