Right now, Benton County residents can burn windblown tumbleweeds on their property without a permit or fee. That exemption exists only because the county’s population sits just under 250,000 people.

As the Tri-Cities expand, that threshold could trigger new regulations that would burden homeowners and local governments with permitting requirements and potential fees.
