The Air District’s
Wood-Burning Rule, which was passed in 2008, applies to the entire Bay Area Air District, and sets baseline requirements regarding wood burning throughout the Bay Area.
In addition, other cities and counties listed below have adopted local wood smoke ordinances that may in some cases contain more stringent requirements. Many of these local ordinances were based on the Air District's Model Wood Smoke Ordinance, which was previously developed as a guidance document for cities and counties that wished to regulate sources of particulate matter in their communities.
