The stormwater permit for construction in Kansas
Kansas runs its own NPDES programme, so a state issued construction general permit governs. Below is what our engine can say about it, and where we have not read that permit, what it will not say.
Governing permit
Not verified for Kansas
We have not read the construction general permit that governs this jurisdiction, so we will not name one. Confirm which permit applies with the state permitting authority before you break ground.
Who may prepare the plan
Not verified for this stateKansas gates plan preparation conditionally. Confirm which case applies to your plan before relying on a generated document.
Not verified. UNCONFIRMED LEAD: EPA's ICIS permit database lists a state-issued Kansas construction stormwater general permit numbered KSR100000, effective August 1, 2022 and expiring July 31, 2027. That number is deliberately NOT recorded in permitNumber because it was never read from a KDHE page or the permit face, and this dataset does not promote a database record to a verified permit identity. KDHE web properties refused automated retrieval on every path and user agent tried, so the permit text was never obtained and the preparer credential is unverified. Confirm the permit identity and any credential with KDHE.
No permit section cited. Confirm this with your permitting authority.
