EQC Gives Burning Variance
Continuation Approval
Columbia County has received
approval from the Oregon En
vironmental Quality • Commis
sion to continue with its burning
variance, however one modifi
cation was made from the one
granted by CWAPA, in areas
regulating land clearing.
Following the recommenda-
,14ns of Department of Environ
mental director Diarmuid F.
O'Scannlain, the commission
granted the variance previously
endorsed for Columbia County.
The variance, which extends
through June 30, 1974, covers
four major areas: domestic
burning; open burning of rub
bish of commercial, etc., sour
ces; land clearing; all other
open burning.
Domestic burning will be per
mitted in all areas of Columbia
County subject to rules and or
regulations of local fire protec
tion agencies. This means the
present burning regulations for
such domestic burning will re
main in effect.
Open burning of rubbish by
commercial, industrial and gov
ernmental sources is prohibited
in the county.
Open burning for land clearing
purposes will be permitted in all
areas of Columbia County, sub
ject to rules and regulations of
local fire protection agencies.
The EQC amended this section to
include the requirement of spe
cific application to----- and writ
ten approval from the DEQ—
prior to conducting land clearing
operations in excess of two
acres.
All other open burning re
mains subject to the existing
rules of the Columbia Willamette
Air Pollution Authority, Oregon
Administrative Rules adopted
by the EQC or regulations of
local fire protection agencies.
In commenting on the var
iance, O’Scannlain said that the
variance is conditioned to pro
tect the air quality and provides
a reasonable time in which to
review the regulations.

Public Hearing Slated for Sept. 5
For New EPA Proposed Regulations
A public hearing has been
set for September 5 at 7:30 pm .
at the Portland Hilton Hotel on a
new set of proposed air quality
control regulations to be handed
down by the Environmental
Protection Agency in Washing
ton, DC.
The proposal, aimed at com
batting pollution problems in
metropolitan areas affects Col
umbia County by virtue of its
position in district two along
with Clackamas, Multnomah,
and Washington counties
Robert Sansom, assistant ad
ministrator of the EPA’s air and
water program announced the
new proposed regulations which
involve establishment of special
traffic lanes for carpools and
mass transit systems, a ban on
heavy duty delivery vehicles
during daylight hours, etc., this
past week.
Sansom pointed out that the
action was necessitated by the
failure of the Oregon Legislature
to fund a vehicle emission in
spection program as part of the
state’s air quality control plan.
For Columbia County, it could
be a real blow. Under the
proposed regulations special
lanes would have to be estab
lished for cars with three or
more passengers and for buses,
on major streets in the counties
Involved.
Heavy duty vehicles would be
unable to make deliveries to
stores and factories employing
more than 100 persons and a $100
fine would be imposed on vio
lators of this provision.
The proposal also states that
exclusive lanes for bus and
carpool traffic would have to be
in operation by December 1,1974
with the ban on heavy duty
delivery vehicles to go into effect
January 1, 1975
The state of Oregon has until
December 1 of this year to set up
a detailed plan of how it intends
to enforce the proposed reg
ulations.

Columbia County, who is lag
ging some 17 months behind the
deadline set by the state of
Oregon for a comprehensive
zoning ordinance, is expected to
adopt a zoning plan for South
Columbia County in the near
future
For many months the planning
com m ission has met with
groups, heard recommendations
and arguments, made changes
and revisions; and it now seems
that a final plan has been
developed and will be presented
to the Columbia County Board of
Commissioners for a vote within
the month. It is felt at this time
that the board will adopt the
ordinance, in view of the time
element, which would prevent
the state from stepping in and
providing their own zoning or
dinance.
The South County area is the
only portion of Columbia County
that has been developed to this
extent. Personnel in the Col
umbia County Planning Office
said work is now underwav on
the comprehensive land use plan
for the mid and central county
areas, while a comprehensive
land use plan has already been
adopted for the north county.
