Dear Sirs: Re: Application for Burning Permit

We are currently acting as the contractor for Genstar Development
Company in the demolition and clearing of the area known as the
Mary Hill Gravel Pit.

The work has necessitated the accumulation of a quantity. of broken

and split large wooden beams, studs, trusses flooring and similar
building members. Our estimate is that there is approximately

400 cubic yards of piled, broken wood’ to be consumed and that

this would take about two days to burn as the material involved

would be fed to the fire gradually under: closely controlled conditions.

We respectfully request Council grant us a Two Day Burning Permit
for the period October 30/31 in order that we may complete the
clearing of the site and we undertake to Garry out the burning in
a careful and safe manner and specifically:

a. to conduct the burning at the centre of the main gravel
pit area close to the waterfront and surrounded by bare
sand/gravel to a minimum radius of 200 feet.

b. to have staff on site at all times from the moment of
ignition until the burning is complete.

c. to have earth moving equipment on site throughout the
burning process in the form of a Case 580 backhoe/loader.

d. to have two 6" water hoses and ancilliary pumping
equipment on site at all times.

By conducting the burning under these closely controlled conditions
and with this equipment to abate and confine the fire there will

be no danger to any surrounding property. We further undertake

to maintain close liaison with your Port Coquitlam Fire Department
and to report to them when ignition is begun and when the burning
is concluded.

Respectfully,

_ Qtech, os
