SIX-TIME WINNER Latest news ARGUS Final edition Page NATIONAl COLOR PRINTING AWARD ROCK ISLAND, TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1972 15 COMPLAINTS UNANSWERED Dispute on open burning is becoming more heated 'S' xr 'Provoked because many residents complaints on open burning apparently have gone unanswered by police, the director of the Quad-City Area Air Pollution Control Agency has sent a second letter to area mayors telling them that local enforcement of the open burning law is mandatory. Stan Nelson, the agencys director, said he mailed the letters yesterday after his office received 15 complaints about open burning violations in the past three days. The letter is the second warning given to Quad-City area mayors in the past 10 days by the clean air agency. On June 30, the day before the new state law took effect, Nelson reminded the mayors that enforcement by local law enforcement officers is a requirement of the new Several communities, including Rock Island, have delayed enforcement of the law pending the outcome of a legal dispute over whether cities or the state is required to enforce the law. At last nights Rock Island City Council meeting, City Atty.

Bernard Gillman requested and received a two-week period to consider the law further before rendering an opinion on the citys responsibility. Gillman has stated that legal counsel of the Illinois Municipal League has told him that the law does not require the city to be the enforcing agency. Nelsons current letter reads We have had a number of complaints from citizens stating they have called police regarding enforcement of rules and regulations prohibiting open burning in restricted areas. The answer received has been, It is not against the law to do open burning. Please instruct your police department that it is against the law to burn trash or landscape wastes inside of any municipality and, according to the rules and regulations issued by the state, the local law enforcement agency has the right and duty to enforce these regu-lations.

You' will be' visited in the near future by a representative of the EPA outlining the enforcement requirements. Most resistance to the open burning law has centered on its application to leaf burning, which will mean additional cost to the cities for pickup and disposal. Nelson noted today, however, that none of the complaints received recently has concerned leaf burning. Rather, the alleged violations have involved trash, garbage and miscellaneous burning by homeowners and businesses.
