RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF EAGLE COUNTY,
COLORADO, IN SUPPORT OF DRAWING PUBLIC ATTENTION TO THE NEED FOR
PRESERVING AIR QUALITY IN EAGLE COUNTY'S VALLEYS.
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has determined
that an increase in local population has caused increases in the
level and kinds of air pollutants and that reasonable attempts
to reduce air pollution must be made; and
WHEREAS, the movement of air through Eagle County's Valleys
is further restricted in cold times of the year; and
WHEREAS, the use of fireplaces and woodstoves have
contributed to the air pollution in the County's Valleys; and
WHEREAS, this resolution does not apply to dwelling units
which rely solely on fuel wood as their source of heat.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO, THAT:
1. The Eagle County Board of Commissioners designates
the President's Holiday Weekend on a trial basis as a
fireplace and woodstove smokeless weekend (February 15, 16,
and 17);
2. All residents and visitors of the County's Valleys
shall be encouraged to refrain from using their fireplaces
and woodstoves during this weekend, in order to protect and
to draw attention to the need for preserving Eagle County's
Valleys' high quality mountain air.
