CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH


Laguna Beach City Ordinance 1587 now requires the mandatory retrofit of any fireplace in a home undergoing a major remodel:


4.503.1    Any "major remodel" to a single family residence as defined in Section 25.08.024 of Title 25 of the Laguna Beach Municipal Code, will require retrofit of any existing wood-burning fireplace to comply with U.S. EPA Phase II emission limits by using a qualified retrofit insert, converting the existing wood-burning fireplace to gas-only use or other approved device. See Press Release


According to the City Council, "An existing wood burning fireplace can be quickly adapted with an EPA phase 2 retro-fit device that will greatly reduce the smoke emissions from your wood-burning fireplace." See Press Release


STATE OF UTAH

The Utah Department of Environmental Protection DEP now requires that all wood burning fireplaces installed in new construction be EPA Qualified.  EPA Qualified fireplaces are qualified through the voluntary wood-burning fireplace program, an initiative of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.  


The Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Air Quality, Rule R307-302 for Solid Fuel Burning Devices for all or portions of Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, Utah and Weber Counties requires that all fireplaces installed or sold after September 1, 2013, be EPA Qualified.   The Utah DEQ rule may be viewed at http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r307/r307-302.htm#E8.


The EPA encourages the installation of lower-emitting wood-burning fireplaces and retro-fit devices.  The EPA’s wood fireplace program covers new masonry and prefabricated (low-mass) fireplaces and retrofit devices for existing fireplaces. Fireplace retrofits can reduce particulate pollution by 70% or more. Additional information on the program is available at http://www.epa.gov/burnwise/participation.html#fireplace. 


KLAMATH FALLS, OR
Klamath County, Oregon Building Code, section 406.100(3)(f), requires that ‘any newly constructed fireplaces must comply with fireplace ASTM standards. Any retrofitted fireplace must meet fireplace ASTM standards.’  Fireplace ASTM standards are defined in the code as fireplaces emitting less than 5.1 g/kg as measured by ASTM E2558.  Additional information on the Klamath County Code: See PDF: http://www.klamathcounty.org/depts/countycounsel/CountyCode.pdf.

The StoveCAT ECD for Wood Burning Heaters


StoveCAT ECD Emission Control Retro-Fit Device for all wood heaters. The StoveCAT ECD simply attaches to the vent pipe on top of a wood stove to direct the pollutant filled exhaust through an array of catalyst coated components. When the exhaust temperature exceeds the required catalyst light-off temperature of about 380 degrees F, the catalyst coated media converts the organic particulates and other criteria pollutants into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide.   Then, at exhaust temperatures below the required catalyst light-off level, the catalyst coated medium acts as a mechanical filter to capture and temporarily store organic matter. When the exhaust temperature once again reaches the catalyst light-off level, the captured organic particulates are catalyzed. The StoveCAT ECD is designed so that it doesn't cause any harmful back pressure. This is due to our unique three stage catalytic design.
