Kansas Air Quality Regulations
Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) contain rules applicable to air- emission sources in Kansas. KDHE publishes public notices on its website any time a new rule, modification of a rule, proposed draft permits, or other air-planning or air-monitoring strategies are being proposed or have been promulgated. The following links will direct you outside of the K-State PPI website to KDHE Bureau of Air and state of Kansas statutes.

EPA Air Quality Regulations
KDHE’s Bureau of Air has adopted by reference most of EPA’s air regulations, as identified by K.A.R. 28-19-720, et seq., K.A.R. 28-19-735, et seq., and K.A.R. 28-19-750, et seq. The links below will direct you to the federal eCFR.
These federal rules can apply to your facility based on its sector type, identification by Standard Industrial Codes (SIC) or the North American Industrial Code System (NAICS), or to particular equipment or manufacturing process types. For example, in addition to state rules, federal regulations have been adopted by state rules for boilers. Applicability of these rules are dependent on numerous factors such as type of boiler; size of boiler; fuels fired; or year the boiler was constructed, reconstructed or modified; and PTE emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) at your facility (major HAP or minor HAP source).
