Local Environmental
Protection Program
The Local Environmental Protection Program (LEPP) continues to
emphasize the importance of wastewater and private well water codes,
to be developed and administered by county health departments and
other local authorities. Development of a sanitary code is an
important first step in addressing the overall water quality needs
of a community.
LEPP funding enables local authorities to develop water
protection plans which are customized for their areas and compliment
other water quality efforts being waged by state and federal
agencies. Plans developed with LEPP funds describe actions that
communities will take to manage private septic system waste water
treatment, solid waste, hazardous waste, nonpoint source pollution,
and private water wells.
The following regulations represent an electronic
facsimile of Kansas Administrative Regulations, promulgated by the
Kansas Department of Health and Environment and published by the
Kansas Secretary of State. These rules are taken from electronic
copies of the printed state regulations which serve as the agency's
official rules and regulations. The printed regulations represent
the final word in matters of interpretation.
The KDHE Office of Communications has appended copies
of the Kansas State Register publication of new or amended,
permanent KDHE regulations to the appropriate chapter. Those
amendments are noted on the cover sheet for each chapter.
