Beehive burners to be phased out under 1998 rules
Environment minister Cathy McGregor announced provincial changes to end wood residue burners in 1998. Operators must submit phase out plans by March 13 1998, with local input before final approval. Failure to file acceptable plans could trigger a June 30 1998 phase out. The move targets health concerns from wood smoke in Prince George Quesnel and Bulkley Valley.
