State environmental officials are proposing a seasonal wood burning ban in seven northern Utah counties: Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, Tooele, and Weber. The ban could have an effect on winter air quality in our communities, so we want to know how you think the ban would affect you and if you support it.
