A household may burn during a ban only if wood is its only adequate heat source and it has applied for and received a Puget Sound Clean Air Agency 'No Other Adequate Source of Heat' exemption beforehand. Expensive electric, oil or propane heat does not by itself qualify, and exempt households still may not make visible smoke.
