Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning livestock; relating to the department of health and environment; extending the expiration of permits issued under the water pollution control permit system from five to 10 years; allowing the secretary to issue permits for terms of less than 10 years, if valid cause exists; amending K.S.A. 65-166a and repealing the existing section.
AI Summary
This bill extends the expiration period for water pollution control permits from five to 10 years in the state of Kansas. Specifically, the legislation modifies an existing law to allow the Secretary of Health and Environment to issue permits that are valid for up to 10 years instead of the previous five-year limit. The bill also maintains the secretary's discretion to issue permits for shorter terms if valid cause exists. The changes apply to various types of facilities, including confined feeding facilities and truck washing facilities for animal wastes. The bill preserves the existing fee structure for these permits, which is based on factors such as animal unit capacity, with annual fees ranging from $25 to $400 depending on the size of the facility. The purpose appears to be to reduce administrative burden by allowing longer-term permits while maintaining the ability to adjust permit terms when necessary for environmental protection.
