District Approved Devices
The following woodburning devices are approved for use in new and remodel residential
construction:
- All EPA-Certified Phase II wood burning devices. Nearly all
new freestanding woodstoves and fireplace inserts on the market
are
EPA-Certified Phase II devices. Freestanding woodstoves have
a certification tag permanently affixed to the back of the unit.
Fireplace inserts have a permanently affixed tag generally
located on the lower front of the unit.
- All pellet-fueled woodheaters, as defined in Rule 504.
- All dedicated gas-fired fireplaces, as defined in Rule 504.
- Zero clearance fireplaces that are not EPA-certified, but can document the
ability to meet the EPA-Phase II emission limits according to the procedures
defined in Rule 504.
- Devices approved as clean-burn by other air quality agencies
that have been reviewed and verified by the APCD.

It is important to note that the above list does not include all APCD-approved
devices; it applies only to those devices which are not EPA-certified, but are
still approved for use by the APCD. There are several woodburning devices on the market
that are sold as zero-clearance fireplaces and are EPA-certified, and therefore
acceptable for installation. If you have a question about a fireplace not specifically
identified above, check to see if it has an EPA certification tag. If it does, then it
automatically qualifies as an APCD-approved device. If there is no EPA certification
tag, and the device is not listed above, then it most likely is not approved for
installation.
The District will periodically update and redistribute this list as new appliances
are developed that meet the emissions standards of the rule.
