Strict residential guidelines are in place for families and individuals. The following is prohibited with hefty fines and penalties in place:
Mandatory NO BURN DAYS should apply to LARGE CORPORATIONS AND BIG BUSINESSES as well. There should be legislation in place to prevent mines, refineries and gravel pits from operating and burning on code red days.
The Utah government should stop focusing their efforts on Weed and Alcohol and address the deadly pollution problems.
