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.
