(A) This subchapter regulates the disposal, by the method of burning, of solid waste materials in Carver County. If a local requirement is more restrictive than the requirement found in this subchapter, the local requirement will supersede the county requirement. This subchapter has been adopted by the Carver County Board of Commissioners to protect the public’s health and prevent nuisance; to protect air and ground water resources; to minimize reliance upon disposal by burning; to promote waste abatement such as recycling and composting; and to supplement and support Carver County and State of Minnesota controls over open burning.
(B) This subchapter establishes standards for the regulation of open burning activities in Carver County, Minnesota. This subchapter requires that appropriate permits be obtained from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the purpose of open burns.
