The New York Department of Environmental Conservation is about to enact regulations to ensure that new outdoor wood furnaces burn at least 90 percent cleaner than older models.
The regulations to be voted on by the state Environmental Board on Monday were revised from an earlier proposal that would have forced many homeowners to replace older wood furnaces. After that plan was met with strong opposition in rural areas where wood-fired boilers are common, existing systems were grandfathered in.
Peter Gregg of the New York Farm Bureau says Wednesday that his group will continue to fight the new regulations because they require an 18-foot smokestack and restrict furnace use to cold months. Gregg says many residents rely on wood boilers year-round for hot water as well as heat.
