Agricultural Burn Permits
We Can Assist You With Your Application
As a Permitting Authority, our service includes assisting applicants with the Department of Ecology’s Agricultural Burn Permitting Program Application and issuing permits locally.
How to Apply for a Burn Permit:
1
Print out, complete, and sign your application (see links below for what you need). We cannot process a burn permit without this application first.
2
Create a map of where the burn will be. It is easy to print off the area on Google Maps and circle the burn zone with a pen or highlighter.
3
Contact Whitman CD either via email or phone. You have the option to email your completed application or drop it off at our office at an agreed upon time.
4
Pay for your permit either by check (when you drop off the application) or over the phone. We cannot approve your permit until we receive payment. If you mail the check, please expect a delay for permitting approval.
5
Whitman CD will process your permit online and email or mail your completed permit. Once you have received this you are ready to burn.
