Steps
Open baaqmd.gov/en/rules-and-compliance/rules/reg-6-rule-3-woodburning-devices for the current rule text
Check baaqmd.gov's October 1, 2025 amendment notice for the change lowering the Mandatory Burn Ban PM2.5 trigger from 35 to 25 µg/m³
Check sparetheair.org for the live daily Spare the Air Alert status
Confirm the sole-source-of-heat exemption process (requires an EPA-certified or pellet device registered with the Air District) before advising a client they're exempt
Known gotchas
The lowered 25 µg/m³ threshold means alerts are now called an estimated 19–41 times per year, versus a historical ~15-alert average — don't cite pre-2025 alert-frequency figures as current
The sole-heat-source exemption requires advance registration with the Air District, not just owning a certified device — an unregistered certified stove is still non-exempt during a mandatory ban
