Open Burning Debate Faces City Council Vote in New Castle
Department of Environmental Protection officials argued at a council caucus that New Castle in the Upper Beaver Valley Air Basin bans all burning except approved exceptions. The proposed ordinance would bar residents from burning paper and cardboard but allow certain industrial pallet burning with permission, a point Mayor Tim Fulkerson backs with a veto threat. Council will vote tomorrow on a ban that allows limited exceptions including training fires, health or safety hazards, pest control, cooking, ceremonial burns, and development land clearing with state approval.
