Impact analysis
Hauling green waste to facilities would cost developers more than burning; any new ordinance could add to construction costs.
Neighbors of clearing sites — especially elderly residents and people with asthma — would breathe easier.
Developers and contractors would bear higher disposal costs if burning is restricted.
