Sec. 250.7. Air pollution episode—forecast stage dated October 9, 1973

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.

NOW, pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 207, I do hereby declare that a forecast stage of an air pollution episode exists, and

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

This Order shall apply to the following counties of the State: Westchester, Rockland, New York City, Nassau and Suffolk, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess and Ulster.

 

Signed: [Henry L. Diamond]

 

Dated: 3:00 p.m. E.D.T., October 9, 1973
