I agree with Oregon's proposal and the EPA's subsequent revisions that they propose to Oregon's State Implementation Plan. Air quality is a huge priority that not many people pay attention to and what the state is doing in regards to removing uncertified wood stoves and solid fuel heating devices (when homeowners sell) will only further and help air quality control. Broadening the rule to be statewide will create a larger area that reduces smoke and potential hazards that can come from the burning in the wood stove. One of the revisions to be made by the state is to add limitations to what can be burnt. This can also bring more quality to the air. The changes that they are proposing to be made are in line with the CAA, which is one of the best environmental laws that the country has had. The sweeping legislation has called for limitations on emissions and to achieve quality air and ozone protections. Approval of the Heat Smart program is essential and may encourage other states to act under the same intent.
