Effective Thursday, July 8, 2010, an Open Burning Ban for all of Northampton County will be imposed according to a press release from the Northampton County Administrator Katherine Nunez. Nunez cited the excessive dry conditions are the reason for the open burn ban.
Certain exemptions are still allowed under the burn ban, however. Controlled burning operations in connection with tomato harvesting, campfires conducted in designated campgrounds and other camping facilities and brush pile burning conducted by the County at the sanitary landfill will still be allowed.
The ban will remain in effect until the County Administrator deems advisable to lift the ban. According to Accuweather.com, rain is likely Thursday afternoon and Saturday as well.
