From the text... 'The Simpson Timber Company (Simpson) conducted a slash burn of forest material on seventy-eight acres of its property situated about nine miles west of Olympia, Washington. The burn produced noticeable smoke and particulate fallout in the Olympia area, which caused annoyance to some citizens of Olympia. As a result of these events, the Olympic Air Pollution Control Authority (Authority) cited Simpson for violation of the Authority*s Regulation I and subsequently assessed a civil penalty against Simpson.'
