As amended through September 7, 2022

The owner or operator of an Open Burn Approval shall pay fees as follows:

  • 1. Review of and routine compliance services for a request for open burning approval under 18 AAC 50.400(g). Fee is due with submission of application.
    (g) The fee for department review of and routine compliance services for a request for open burning under 18 AAC 50.065 is $387. If the department determines that smoke incursion into a public place, into an airport, into a Class I area, into any nonattainment area, or into any maintenance area is likely, all additional costs will be charged in accordance with (h) of this section.
    (h) Unless the designated regulatory service is subject to a fixed fee set out in (a) – (g) of this section, or to the terms of a negotiated service agreement under AS 37.10.052(b) and 18 AAC 50.403, the permittee, owner, or operator shall pay an hourly permit administration fee for a designated regulatory service. The department will calculate the total amount due under this subsection by multiplying the number of hours spent to provide the designated regulatory service by the hourly rate of salary and benefits of the department employees who provided the designated regulatory service, and by adding to the resulting amount any other direct costs.
  • As of September 7, 2022, the fee for review of and routine compliance services for a request for Open Burning Approval without a smoke incursion is $387.
  • As of September 7, 2022, if the department determines that a smoke incursion is likely as per 18 AAC 50.400(g), any additional costs will be billed on an hourly basis
