Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-68-8 - Prioritization of fund expenditure
Each work item approved by the
(a) Priority shall be given to contaminated
drycleaning sites requiring emergency action. Emergency status may be
established by the department under any of the following conditions:
(1) when a public water supply well or one or
more domestic wells are contaminated, or are threatened with contamination
levels above state or federal drinking water limits, and no alternative water
source is readily available;
(2)
when surface drinking water or a water supply intake is contaminated above
acceptable limits, as defined by the department , or contamination is imminent,
and no alternative water source is readily available; or
(3) when a high probability exists for direct
human exposure to or contact with highly contaminated waste , soil, air, or
water.
(b) Each
contaminated drycleaning site not requiring emergency action shall be ranked by
the department according to the risk to human health and the environment
presented by the contaminants at the contaminated drycleaning site.
Contaminated drycleaning sites for which an application is submitted for
reimbursement of corrective action costs incurred prior to July 1, 1995 shall
be ranked separately from other contaminated drycleaning sites.
(c) The appropriateness of corrective action
alternatives for each contaminated drycleaning site shall be evaluated by the
department according to the following criteria.
(1) Preference shall be given to the
corrective action alternative which is most cost effective, considering both
short-term and long-term costs, while adequately protecting human health and
the environment.
(2) The
incremental cost of the chosen corrective action shall be justified and
reasonably related to the incremental risk reduction benefits of the corrective
action.
