LRAPA: Amendment to Title 47 “Open Burning

Open Burning Advisory Committee

The committee is made up of members of the community who represent the areas required under state statute:

Russ Ayers (Chair), Weyerhasuser Pulp, Springfield—Major Industry

Maurie Denner (Vice-Chair), School Prinipal—General Public

Larry Dunlap, MD—Public Health

Paul Engelking, U of O chemistry professor—Environmental Concerns

Brian Forge, small wood-working business owner—General Public

Hugh Larkin II, Green Gear Bike Friday—General Public

Jim Leary, Country Coach, Junction City—Major Industry

Marilyn Lowe, substitute teacher--General Public

Amy Peccia, SierraPine, Springfield—Major Industry

Rick Rogers, Western Lane District, ODF—Fire Suppression

John Tamulonis, planner, City of Springfield—Public Planning

Gery Vander Meer, auto broker—General Public

Currently, we do not have a member representing agriculture. Our board and committee decided years ago to split industry representation into Title V and regular sources. We do not, at this time, have a representative of ACDPs. The Environmental representative started out as general public, but his concerns have been with the environmental segment of the community, and he has provided a good balance to industrial concerns.
