Abstract
This document serves as an appendix to the report entitled
“Prescribed Fire Policy Barriers and Opportunities:
A Diversity of Challenges and Strategies Across the
West” [Ecosystem Workforce Program Working Paper #86]. The aforementioned report details our findings
from our initial phases of project research, including
a legal analysis and approximately sixty interviews
with key informants (e.g. land managers, air
regulators, and state agency partners). This appendix
provides additional detail from our legal research
on air quality law and policy. The following
sections include overviews of the federal Clean Air
Act, followed by details for each of the 11 western
states in our study. In the main report, Table 1 on pp. 14-16 provides
a state-by-state overview of air quality regulatory
processes and interagency relationships to support
burning in each state; please refer to the table for a
quick reference guide that summarizes the information
for states covered in this appendix.
