We, the residents of the Frazier Mountain Communities, residing in the zip codes 93225 and 93243, petition our representative Ray Watson to work to reinstate the no-burn regulation exemption in communities located at an elevation of 3,000 feet or higher for the following reasons: 1) The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District appears to have no data relevant to to the mountain communities to justify the removal of the exemption in mid-October, 2008. 2) There is no credible demonstrated effect on the intended goal to decrease air-born particulate matter PM 2.5 in the San Joaquin Valley. 3) The Frazier Mountain Communities are at an elevation of 4,500 feet and higher and therefore not geographically part of the San Joaquin Valley. 4) Burn restrictions place undue financial hardship on Frazier Mountain Community residents.
