Arkansas Code Title 8. Environmental Law § 8-6-1703. Restrictions on open burning yard wastes

(1) A persistent or recurring offense to surrounding landowners, as determined by complaints to state or local officials;

(2) A fire hazard to surrounding property, as determined by appropriate local officials; or

(3) A safety hazard causing obscured vision on public roads or highways.

(c)(1) No citation or civil fine shall be issued or levied pursuant to the exception of subdivision (b)(1) of this section unless first preceded by a warning order or other appropriate notification delivered to the alleged violator by certified mail, restricted delivery, or other appropriate mechanism of legal service, indicating that a local or state agency has received a complaint concerning open burning activities. Such order or notification need not reveal the identity of the complainants. This order or notification shall advise the alleged violator of alternatives to open burning of yard waste.

(2) As used in subdivision (b)(1) of this section, “persistent or recurring” burning includes activities that are seasonal or annual. Each day of any event of open burning that continues following executed service of a warning order or notification may justify a citation or civil fine unless the alleged violator takes reasonably diligent measures to extinguish or control the fire.
