I, Henry L. Diamond, Commissioner of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York, have found, after investigation, that the ambient levels of air contaminants and weather conditions are such that a danger to the health and welfare of the People of the State exists, and that it would be prejudicial to the interests of the People of the State to delay action until an opportunity for a hearing could be provided.

NOW, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 14 and 16 of the Environmental Conservation Law, I do hereby declare that a stagnation stage of an air pollution episode exists, and

ORDER: That all persons, forthwith cease and abate and refrain from, until further notice by me, the burning of any material in any open fire.

This Order shall apply to the following counties of the State: Kings, Queens, Richmond, Bronx, New York, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland.

I, Henry L. Diamond, Commissioner of Environmental Conservation, of the State of New York, have found, after investigation, that the conditions presenting dangers to the health and welfare of the people of the State, for which I issued a summary order on February 9, 1972 to cease activities which contributed thereto, have passed and subsided.

NOW, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 14, 15 and 16 of the Environmental Conservation Law, I do hereby RESCIND SUCH ORDER, effective 1:00 p.m., February 11, 1972.
