Why implement changes in Granite Bay?
At the March 2002, the Air District made a presentation to the Granite Bay Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC). As a result of this presentation, the MAC formed the Residential Burn Compromise Committee to determine the desire of the community and to recommend a compromise policy that would satisfy citizens on both sides of the issue (suburban and rural). Air District and Fire District staff provided technical support to this committee. The final report of the committee was presented and endorsed by the MAC in March 2003. In April 2005 the Residential Burn Compromise Committee reconvened in order to review the burn hours. A recommendation to the MAC was made and approved to extend the burn hours for the month of May. Information that was presented to the MAC can be found at the Granite Bay Information Central.
