These summary has been prepared by the EPA Division Air Section to
provide preliminary information relating to smoke events reported to the
EPA during the 2011 Planned Burn Season. The summaries are a collection
of information from a number of sources brought together into one
document.
It is important to note that, in general, it is not the purpose of
these summaries to specify the source of smoke from which a complaint
has arisen, nor is it likely to determine if an air quality standard has
been exceeded. In many cases a full technical analysis must be
performed to ascribe smoke to a specific source and to determine if an
air quality standard is likely to have been exceeded. The level of
detail required for a full technical analysis is beyond the scope of
these summaries.
