At the state level, open burning is regulated under Parts 55, 115, and 515 of The Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, Public Act 451 of 1994, as amended (Act 451), and associated administrative rules. There are two state agencies responsible for administering these open burning regulations: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR); however, these regulations may be enforced by local units of government.
