      (a) Each project plan shall include a Smoke Management Plan. The Plan

      Management Environmental Impact Report.

      (c) Local Air Pollution Control District rules with respect to smoke 
      emissions will be followed.

      (d) Each permit shall include the statement: "This permit is valid only on 
      those days during which agricultural burning is not prohibited by the 
      State Air Resources Board or by a district pursuant to Section 41855 of 
      the Health and Safety Code."

      (e) Burning shall only be allowed on Burn Days as determined by the Air 
      Resources Board, except on areas declared to be fire hazards.

      (f) A permit to burn on No-Burn days may be obtained from an Air Pollution 
      Control District when denial to burn would threaten imminent and 
      substantial economic loss.

      (g) On burns prescribed to improve the wildlife habitat, a written 
      statement shall first be obtained by the permittee from the Department of 
      Fish and Game certifying that the burning is desirable and proper for the 
      improvement of land for wildlife or game habitat. This statement shall be 
      provided by the local Fish and Game Officer assigned to the project and 
      will be filed with the local air pollution control officer.

      (h) On completion of a burn, a report shall be submitted to the local 
      district or APCO stating the following information:

      (1) Date of the burn
