Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> Page 3 <br /> November 2, 2001 <br /> available for their use or reuse. Burning them or hauling them <br /> off are not the only options. They can be sold for their timber <br /> or pulp value. They can be sawn for boards for siding farm <br /> buildings and other farm building repairs. They can be sawn and <br /> used for firewood. And, the open burning prohibition is not <br /> violated if the cleared trees are piled and permitted to <br /> naturally dec'ompose. Permitting the open burning of trees <br /> cleared for agricultural purposes would erode the underpinning <br /> of the prohibition on the open burning of trees now contained in <br /> the draft ordinance. I recommend that you either prohibit the <br /> burning of all non-reusable wood waste or not regulate it at <br /> all . <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> COLEMAN, GLEDHILL & HARGRAVE, P.C. <br /> )p rey E. )dh i 11 <br /> GEG/lsg <br /> Enclosure <br /> xc: John M.
