The CRD Program in Idaho is comprised of members of the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Environmental Quality, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Nez Perce Tribe, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, and the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho . Each day, the team reviews weather conditions, current air quality, and the location of possible field burns to determine whether or not burning will occur. A local coordinator is on site or nearby for each field burn to track the smoke, monitor weather conditions, and make sure the grower is burning correctly.
