Sec. 250.2. Air pollution episode—stagnation advisory dated July 18, 1972

I, Henry L. Diamond, Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation, of the State of New York, have found, after investigation, that the ambient levels of air contaminants and weather conditions are such that a danger to the health and welfare of the People of the State exists, and that it would be prejudicial to the interests of the People of the State to delay action until an opportunity for a hearing could be provided.

ORDER:

That all persons, forthwith cease and abate and refrain from, until further notice by me, the burning of any material in any open fire.

This order shall apply to the following counties of the State:

Kings, Queens, Richmond, Bronx, New York, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland.

 

Signed: [Henry L. Diamond]
