Tahoe and Placer County

11/17/10
2007 District Rule 225 may permit Rumfords tested to the Washington Fireplace Emissions Law if determined to be equivalent to "the U.S. EPA particulate matter emission standard set forth in Title 40 CFR, Part 60, Subpart AAA Code of Federal Regulations". See emails in October/November, 2010 with Heather Kuklo and Clare Walton, architect.

2/3/04
Perry Troolin at Rustic Brick in Sacramento says one of his customers, (Mike) Kerton Construction in Northstar, went to the officials in Placer County (Tahoe City) where only Rumfords are approved and got a permit to build a 48" Rumford as long as "you are prepared to prove that it is certified" according to the plans examiner.

10/14/04 - Mike Kerton (530 587 4228) called to say Dave Vince (530 889 7130) ruled the Rumford "not acceptable in Placer Cty anymore". 4/23/02 - Michael Knot, owner/builder (530 412 1765) mmknott@telis.org called to report Placer County approved R3636 - needs glass door & air system & lable.

Jim: I forwarded your Omni Sept 01, 2000 letter from Tiegs to TRPA: Attn Jennifer Quashnick, (tele) 775 58884547: She called this morning and said 7.5 grams per hour was OK...it is the upper limit allowed.

Can you send me what to detail; Are your packages similar to McNear packages? Do we have to buy a package or can our mason build it to your specs.

Thanks, Bill Simpson

Bill,

I'm not sure. I was just told yesterday by an architect in Napa Valley that we were approved in the Tahoe area. I know a number of Rumford have been approved but I'm not clear about exactly who approved them in what specific area.

Four models of our Rumford fireplace, including the 36" wide model, were tested in an EPA certified lab and approved in Washington. Test results are at http://www.rumford.com/testRumfordresults.html

I recommend that you submit your plans specifying the 36"Rumford and include a copy of the letter from the test lab and the test results from the website address above and see if they approve it. We will be glad to talk with your building official or air quality regulator. The Rumfords should be approved anywhere that any wood-burning stoves or other wood-burning appliances are permitted.

Best,
Jim Buckley
