The Northampton Board of Health has received complaints about excessive smoke
being emitted from the chimney of your dwelling at 212 Bridge Street. That
smoke allegedly results from the burning of trash, per the enclosed report
from the Northampton Fire Department.
The Northampton Board of Health has adopted a regulation governing smoke emissions.
(A copy of that regulation is enclosed. ) Smoke with a density in excess of 307,
opacity violates this regulation. In addition, the burning of trash in any stove,
or incinerator violates state and federal Air Pollution Laws unless extensive air
pollution control equipment has been added. Any burning of trash must cease
immediately.
The enclosed guidelines suggest wood burning practices which, if followed, will
enable you to comply with the regulation, while allowing a more efficient use of
your wood stove.
Please note that a follow-up inspection will be made within 7 days of the receipt
of this notice to determine compliance with the regulation.
If you have any questions concerning this notice or about wood stove operation,
please do not hesitate to contact the Board of Health office.
Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation with our efforts to reduce smoke
pollution in Northampton.
