The department shall make available to the public, prior to the burn, information regarding the date of the burn, location, acreage and crop type to be burned. If the agricultural community desires to burn more than twenty thousand (20,000) acres annually of bluegrass within the state, that does not include Indian or tribal lands within the reservation boundaries as recognized by the federal clean air act, then, prior to approving the burning of the additional acres, the department shall complete an air quality review analysis to determine that the ambient air quality levels in this section will be met.
(4) A fee in an amount of two dollars ($2.00) per acre to be burned shall be paid to the department prior to burning. This fee shall not apply to propane flaming, as defined in the rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter. The department shall remit all fees quarterly to the state treasurer, who shall deposit the moneys in the general fund.
