(a) Open burning of vegetation such as grass, woody species, crop residue, and other dry plant growth for the purpose of crop, range, pasture, wildlife or watershed management shall be exempt from the prohibition on the open burning of any materials imposed by K.A.R. 28-19-645, provided that the following conditions are met:
(1) the person conducting the burn
shall notify the local fire control authority with jurisdiction over the area
before the burning begins, unless the appropriate local governing body has
established a policy that notification is not required;
(2) a person shall not conduct a burn that
creates a traffic safety hazard. If conditions exist that may result in smoke
blowing toward a public roadway, the person conducting the burn shall give
adequate notification to the highway patrol, sheriff's office or other
appropriate state or local traffic control authorities before burning;
(3) a person shall not conduct a
burn that creates an airport safety hazard. If smoke may affect visibility at
an airport, the person conducting the burn shall give adequate notification to
the appropriate airport authorities before burning; and
(4) the person conducting the burn shall
insure that the burning is supervised until the fire is extinguished.
(b) Nothing in this regulation shall restrict the authority of local jurisdictions to adopt more restrictive ordinances or resolutions governing agricultural open burning operations.
