Burner Comments
Mitigtations If smoke drifts into SSAs, operations will cease to break up the smoke plume. Firing will resume after a break is created in the smoke plume and favorable winds are detected that will disperse smoke away from SSAs. . Creating breaks in the smoke plumes will be used until the units are completed or it is decided to stop for the day.
