The Olympic Interagency Fire Management Program and park road crew will conduct prescribed burns of five woody debris piles beginning Monday, Oct. 31 in the Lower Queets, Hoh, Sol Duc, and Elwha maintenance areas of Olympic National Park.
Officials said road-clearing operations in Olympic National Park generate large amounts of debris and pile burning is the most convenient and cost-effective method of disposal.
Smoke will be visible at times from nearby trails and roadways while the burns are in progress, but smoke impacts are expected to be minimal.
No area closures are anticipated in the national park during the burns.
