Kan. Admin. Regs. § 47-16-4 - Entry for study or exploration
(a) Any property
may be entered by the secretary or secretary's designee for the purpose of
conducting studies or exploratory work to determine the following:
(1) the existence of adverse effects of past
coal mining practices; and
(2) the
feasibility of restoration, reclamation, abatement, control, or prevention of
adverse effects.
(b) If
the owner will not give consent to entry, notice shall be given to the owner in
writing of the secretary's intent to enter for purposes of study and
exploration to determine the existence of adverse effects of past coal mining
practices that may be harmful to the public health, safety, or general welfare.
The notice shall be provided by mail, return receipt requested, to the owner,
if known, and shall include a statement of the reasons why entry is believed
necessary. If the owner is not known, or the current mailing address of the
owner is not known, or if the owner is not readily available, the notice shall
be posted in one or more places on the property to be entered where it is
readily visible to the public. In addition, the notice shall be published once
in a newspaper of general circulation in the locality in which the land is
located. Notice shall be given at least 30 days before entry.
