City of Grand Junction Wood Burning Ordinance To assist in improving air quality in the City of Grand Junction, City Council passed Ordinance No. 2981 which regulates wood stove and fireplace burning.
If you own or operate a wood stove or fireplace, it is your duty to be aware of any declaration of a high pollution (red) day by the Mesa County Health Department. Any wood burning device can be used on low pollution (blue) days. For Air Watch Advisory please call 248-6990 or visit their website at www.health.mesacounty.us
Approved Wood Stoves According to the Environmental Protection Agency, all new wood stoves sold after July 1, 1992 are certified by the EPA to be a clean burning stove. A sticker on the back of the wood stove bears the name of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. If your stove does not have this label, or if you do not know whether or not your existing wood stove is certified, call your local fireplace or stove shop for assistance.
For any transfer of ownership of property after September 1, 1997 where a wood stove is not EPA approved, the seller shall prior to any transfer of ownership: (a) replace the wood stove with a clean burning stove, (b) replace the wood stove with a gas stove, (c) remove the wood stove. Fireplaces do not require any action. |
