Friday, May 21, 2010 – Daily News – 7A to combat residential woodsmoke pollution Bill Husa/Chico Enterprise-Record Marin Acevedo loads up his firewood in an orchard off of Anita Rd. Meanwhile, local dis- tricts ramped up efforts to curb residential smoke after EPA tightened its rules for particle pollution in 2006. Now, a statewide review by the Chico Enter- prise-Record shows that 17 of the state’s 35 districts have enacted some kind of wood-burning rules. Fireplaces used for aes- thetics far outnumber wood-burning stoves in metropolitan Los Angeles and the Bay Area. For instance, an esti- mated 1.4 million fire- places — and only 39,500 wood stoves — can be found in the giant district encompassing Orange County and the urban parts of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino coun- ties, said Sam Atwood, spokesman for the South Coast Air Quality Man- agement District. Owners of those fire- places and stoves will face a projected 10 to 25 mandatory no-burn days annually starting in November 2011 as the dis- trict tries to reduce particle pollution. Already, the district has spent $616,000 in $125 incentives to retrofit more than 6,000 wood-burning fireplaces with gas logs. Cooler temperatures in the Bay Area foster more wood-burning, historically accounting for one-third of particulate pollution in winter months.

The district set aside $500,000 to help residents switch to gas logs, but only $251,600 has been spent so far on 545 change-outs. The air districts cover- ing the San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento have also adopted mandatory no- burn days. But a number of rural districts have steered away from such rules, especially in colder north- ern areas where wood is abundant and many resi- dents can’t afford new, cleaner-burning stoves. Now the City of Chico is considering its own mandatory no-burn ordi- nance, which could be in effect by next winter. Still uncertain is how wood- burning residents will react, and how many can pay for buy cleaner units. ——— Deborah Schoch is a reporter for The California HealthCare Foundation Center for Health Reporting, an independent, nonpartisan news organization based at the Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism at the University of Southern California.
