OAR 629-048-0330: Emission Inventories

(1) In addition to the emissions information collected from prescribed burning under OAR 629-048-0320, the forester will annually estimate, using appropriate models and the best available information on acres burned and fuel type, the emissions produced by wildfires in Oregon. At a minimum, the forester will attempt to collect information about wildfires that burn on forestlands within a forest protection district. (2) Emissions information from prescribed burning and from wildfires will be maintained as distinct inventories, in appropriate forms, for analysis and distribution to improve the overall understanding of the relationships of wildfire versus prescribed fire emissions. (3) The forester may include as much information on wildfires as may be readily available from the various protection agencies and other cooperators, provided that gathering of such information does not create an unfunded cost to the Smoke Management program.
