State Regulations Enforced by BER NOTICE: Contaminated sites managed by the Bureau of Remediation (except for leaking underground or above ground petroleum storage tanks) are included in the Identified Sites List (ISL). The ISL provides the public with the ability to perform searches on contaminated properties in the State of Kansas. A fact sheet for each contaminated property may be printed which provides general detail about the status and the environmental conditions at a property. More detailed information is available from KDHE through a Kansas Open Records Act request. Please contact the program representative listed on the fact sheet for additional information. |
The mission of the Bureau of Environmental Remediation is to respond to environmental emergencies and to manage environmental contamination through pollution source control, containment, or remedial action. The program responsibilities are: investigation of pollution occurrences and sources from spills, illegal dumping, abandoned facilities, and landfills; storage tank regulations; surface mining site regulation; and designing and overseeing remedial activities at contaminated sites.
