Are there exceptions for small amounts of straw?
The Regulation provides for burning of small amounts of straw outside authorized hours, if the straw is immediately impeding field operations such as seeding or tillage. The straw accumulations may result from wind, rain or water (floats), a broken bale, a windrow less than 100 feet long or from stopping equipment. No more than three floats, windrows, bales or piles with a combined area of one acre may be burned at one time. The exemption is not intended for finishing windrows after hours. Burning must be done at the time when seeding or tillage is underway in the field. If the straw accumulations are not impeding immediate seeding or tillage operations, burning must take place within authorized times. There are no exemptions for flax straw.
