Forest Service seeks ADEQ approval to burn piles
Ignition planned for Tuesday
WILLIAMS - As a continuation of a prescribed fire program, Kaibab National Forest officials are requesting approval to burn piles on the Williams Ranger District on Tuesday. If Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) endorses the request and favorable conditions exist, personnel will burn 90 acres of slash piles nine miles east of Williams, south of Interstate 40 near Sherwood Forest Estates.
Personnel test burned the piles on Sept. 3 and determined conditions were not appropriate to continue the project. With the weekend forecast calling for a chance of precipitation each day, conditions should be favorable to complete the burn early next week.
The public is advised that smoke impacts are possible along stretches of I-40 during the burn and smoke may settle in Garland Prairie overnight. Smoke will be heaviest the day of the burn with a steady decrease in smoke production each day.
