Asbestos by State

State rules

Kansas

Kansas appears on EPA’s state asbestos contacts page as a Department of Health and Environment contact, Logan Jones, at 785-296-0243 and Logan.Jones@ks.gov. That is the verified public record this directory can cite. KDHE asbestos pages that describe licensing and notices returned HTTP 403, so this entry does not repeat statutes, fee schedules, or license class names. Kansas is not one of the twelve states EPA lists with an AHERA waiver. The agency clue in the email domain is the health and environment department, not a labor board, but the internal split between air notices and credentials was not readable on a page that returned HTTP 200.

The phone and email above were copied from the EPA contact page fetched for this directory. They are the right starting point for a Kansas question. They are not a description of who must be certified or how many days before demolition a form is due. Those sentences live on KDHE pages this directory could not retrieve. Inventing them would mix Kansas up with a neighboring state’s rule. Until the page loads, ask the listed contact what the current notice deadline and credential are for the county where the building stands.

Federal duties still exist. EPA’s NESHAP overview requires a thorough inspection where demolition or renovation will occur and notice to the delegated entity before demolition or before renovations over the regulatory amount of regulated asbestos-containing material. Whether Kansas is that delegated entity for a given county is a question for the KDHE contact, not a guess. OSHA’s construction asbestos standard still binds employers. AHERA still binds public and nonprofit private schools, and EPA has not listed Kansas as a waiver state.

A building permit from a city does not answer the federal notice question. School management plans are a separate file from a renovation notice. If someone offers a Kansas license number, ask the EPA-listed contact to confirm what that number means, because this directory did not verify a roster URL. Do not pay a fee quoted only in a sales call until you can match it to a KDHE page you can read.
