Smoke Management
If you have a completed logging operation, and you need to burn the debris (logging slash) that is remaining in that operation. You need to contact Coos Forest Protective Association if the desired burn is on any lands protected by CFPA. The State of Oregon has laws and rules related to the burning of "logging slash" and we have listed links below for Smoke Management.
Prescribed Burning is the burning of
slash, and forest litter from a logging operation to minimize the possibility of
large wildfires during fire seasons.
Slash is debris and forest litter that is
low lying, dying and/or dead, and woody material left over from a logging
operation.
Landing piles is the piling of slash on the logging operations
landing site usually consists of one large pile.
Piled unit is the piling of
slash throughout the entire logging operation site, usually consists of many
medium size piles.
Broadcast is the remaining debris that has not been piled, usually consists of lighting fire to the entire logging operation area.
