Environmental Permitting in Kentucky An Overview

This webpage is currently under construction and information contained here has not yet been approved or authorized by the DAQ, DWM, or DOW. Please contact the ECAP team at envhelp@ky.gov or (502) 782-6189 if you have any questions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ge​​neral Permitting Information​​​​​​

​Environmental authorizations, such as permits and registrations, are required by federal, state, and sometimes local governments. The purpose of authorizations is to make sure that industry, businesses, and individuals minimize the impacts of certain activities on the environment.

Permits include conditions that are designed to control pollution. Permits also restrict the number of pollutants that may be released during a specific timeframe. Permit approval is generally required before construction or operation. Depending on the permit, approval can take several months.

The types of permits and registrations that may apply to a particular industry or business vary by location, activities, and potential for pollution. Activities that require permits or other approvals can include those that might pollute the air, water, or land. A few examples of this include mercury and other air emissions from power stations, sediment-laden runoff from construction sites, or the disposal of used aerosol cans from an autobody shop.​​​​​​​

​Why do I need a permit?

Activities that have the potential to significantly impact the environment or threaten human health require an environmental permit. Even minor activities, when combined, can create significant impacts. Failure to obtain and comply with permits can result in violations or delays.


When should I submit an application for a permit?

In general, facility owners and operators must obtain all applicable environmental permits prior to beginning construction or operation. Permit issuance timelines depend on the permit type and complexity of the project. Overall, it's recommended to identify and submit the necessary permit paperwork far in advance to avoid construction delays.​​​


How long does the permit approval process take?

Processing permits and receiving authorization takes time. The regulatory time frame for reviewing and issuing a final permit identifies the maximum time it should take to receive a final permit. If the activity is technically complex or requires multiple permits, then it may take longer.


Can I speed up the permit approval process?

The Department of Environmental Protection recognizes the compressed timelines associated with starting up or expanding a business. Therefore, the department is committed to reviewing applications as rapidly as possible while ensuring accuracy for all approvals. Applicants proposing large-scale, complex projects, or major modifications to existing permits are encouraged to request a pre-authorization meeting with the appropriate agency staff. The following tips will help expedite the process:

  • Determine all permits necessary for intended activities (including local authorizations).
  • Be aware of the timelines associated with reviewing and approving permits.
  • Discuss your timeline and the potential to prioritize the review process with agency staff.
  • Make sure that all applications are complete and submit them as soon as possible.
  • Consult ECAP to identify permit needs and to facilitate discussions with permit reviewers.


Do I have to pay a fee for a permit?

Certain permits or approvals have associated fees depending on the type of activity and the source. Questions about fees should be directed to the agency reviewing the permit application.​

Air Permitting

The Kentucky Division for Air Quality (DAQ) issues permits to industry, businesses, and individuals for activities that create air pollution. An “air contaminant" or “air pollutant" includes smoke, dust, soot, carbon, or any particulate matter, radioactive matter, noxious acid, fumes, gases, odor, vapor, or any combination of these items.

The Kentucky​ DAQ is responsible for air permitting in all counties except Jefferson. The Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District is responsible for air permitting in Jefferson County.

The Clean Air Act requires businesses and industries that release large amounts of air pollutants to have an air permit or registration. Air permits include information on which pollutants are being released, how much may be released, and what kinds of steps the source’s owner or operator is required to take to reduce the pollution. 


Permits are issued to large sources (major sources) and smaller sources (minor or area sources). 


Whether or not a source requires an air p​​​ermit depends on its potential to emit (PTE) regulated air pollutants. PTE is based on the facility's maximum capacity to release air pollutants if it were to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Air emissions are identified by the amount of regulated air pollutants (RAPs), individual hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and total combined hazardous air pollutants that the entire source has the potential to emit.​


​​Regulated air pollutants (RAPs) (401 KAR 52:001, SECTION 1(60))​​ include:

​​

Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)

​Hazardous air pollutan​​ts are chemicals that are known to cause or contribute to serious human health risks or adverse environmental effects. A list of hazardous air pollutants can be found in 401 KAR 63:060​ and Section 112(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act. Any deletions or redefinitions of hazardous air pollutants are listed within 40 CFR 63, Subpart C​.​​​​​​​

Some rules are specific to individual facilities and types of pollutants that may require certain permit conditions. If a federal rule applies to a source, at least a registration application must be submitted. These rules are referred to as New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) (40 CFR 60) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) (40 CFR 63 and 40 CFR 61). 


Kentucky's state air quality regulations (401 KAR Chapters 50 to 65) adopt the NSPS and NESHAP standards in 401 KAR 60:005 and 401 KAR 63:002.​

​Permit categories are broken down by the amount of pollution a facility has the potential to emit (PTE). These categories include:

  • ​Registrations
  • Minor/State-origin permits
  • Conditional major permits
  • Major/Title V permits

As mentioned in the previous section, federal rule applicability requires facilities to submit at least a registration. PTE is usually measured in tons per year (TPY). The PTE permit thresholds and explanations of each permit category can be found on the DAQ "Air Permitting​"​ webpage​​.​​

​Every permit is different; however, there is certain common information that will be included in every air permit:​

  • Facility & equipment description (who you are, what equipment/processes emit air pollutants)
  • Pollutants & emission limits (what can be emitted and how much)
  • Operating limits (hours, fuel usage, production rates, etc.)
  • Monitoring, recordkeeping & reporting requirements
  • Applicable state & fe​deral air regulations that must be followed​

​Air Permit holders are required to submit Annual Compliance Certification reports, as well as Semi-Annual Monitoring Reports. ​Information on these reports can be found on the ​DAQ​​'s "Permit Required Reporting" webpage.


Kentucky also requires emissions fees for stationary sources of regulated air pollutants each year (401 KAR 50:038​). Fees are based on a facility's submitted Air Emissions Surveys (AES) and the acknowledgement checklist agreed to by the facility.​ More information about AES and associated fees is available on the DAQ's "Kentucky Emissions Inventory" webpage.​

​

ECAP has also created video guides to these reports:

​Update an Air Permit Contact

If the air permit contact person for your facility has changed, please email Samantha.Hoffm​an@ky.gov​​ to update this information. Please note: An air permit contact cannot be a third-party consultant.​​


Transfer an Air Permit

Sometimes, the owner or person to whom a permit is issued changes. When this happens, please submit the following information to the division within ten days:

These items may be submitted to the division’s Permit Review Branch either through EEC eForms or by mailing a hard copy to:​

Michelle McCloskey, Division for Air Quality, Permit Review Branch, 300 Sower Blvd., 2nd Floor, Frankfort, KY 40601.​​​​​​​​

Building owners and/or their contractors may be required to conduct an asbestos survey and submit a notification to the DAQ before beginning any renovation or demolition activities involving:
  • Industrial facilities, commercial properties, public and institutional buildings, and other regulated structures
  • Two or more single-family homes that are part of a commercial, public, or state-funded project, installation, or development
  • Projects involving two or more apartment buildings, regardless of size
  • Any single apartment building containing more than four units

Renovation notification requirements are based on the amount of asbestos identified. A 10-day demolition notification is required regardless of whether asbestos is present. Depending on the type and quantity of asbestos discovered, removal by a licensed asbestos professional may be required.

For detailed information on asbestos and certified asbestos abatement professionals, please visit the DAQ's "Asbestos" webpage​.​​​​​​ More information can also be found in the webinar recording for "ECAP RECAP: The Basics of Asbestos in Kentucky​."

​​​​Waste Permitting

The Kentucky Division of Waste Management (DWM) ensures the proper management of waste through permits and registrations. Anyone who generates, stores, transports, processes, recycles, or disposes of solid waste or hazardous waste may be subject to these authorizations. Before g​​oing forward with any of these activities, it is important to determine what types of authorizations are required by DWM.​​​


Hazardous Waste Generation

​From the EPA's Hazardous Waste website​, "a hazardous waste is a waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human health or the environment. Hazardous waste is generated from many sources, ranging from industrial manufacturing process wastes to batteries and may come in many forms, including liquids, solids gases, and sludges."​ Hazardous waste status can be determined by using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)​. A TCLP involves a chemical analysis process used to determine whether there are hazardous elements in a waste.


Hazardous waste generators are individuals or businesses that produce hazardous waste in amounts beyond established thresholds. Kentucky defines three categories of hazardous waste generators: Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQGs), Small Quantity Generators (SQGs), and Large Quantity Generators (LQGs). Categories are based on the quantity of hazardous waste generated in one calendar month.


Depending on the amount of hazardous waste and/or the type of activity, a registration or permit may be required.


​​Generator Class​
​HW Generated in One Calendar Month
​Acute HW Generated in One C​alendar Month​​
​VSQG​
≤ 220 lbs​
≤ 2.2 lbs​
​SQG
> 220 ≤ 2,200 lbs​
≤ 2.2 lbs​
​LQG
≥​ 2,200 lbs​
​​> 2.2 lbs

VSQGs generate less than 220 pounds of HW and less than 2.2 pounds of acute HW in one month. SQGs generate between 220 and 2,200 pounds of HW and less than 2.2 pounds of acute HW per month. LQGs generate more than 2,200 pounds of HW or more than 2.2 pounds of acute HW per month.


VSQGs are not required to register unless site-specific operations necessitate obtaining an EPA ID number. Generator status affects how HW is managed in terms of storage, storage times, recordkeeping, reporting, transportation, processing, and/or final disposal. SQGs and LQGs must notify and register with DWM using the "Hazardous Waste Form" 8700 RCRA Form (eForm ID 108​), an intuitive eForm that encompasses the EPA 8700 Form and the associated Kentucky addendum forms. This eForm will be used for both generator registrations and annual reports.​


More information on generator registration, annual report, and assessment programs can be found on the DWM's "Hazardous Waste Generation in Kentucky" webpage​ and in the "ECAP RECAP: Hazardous Waste Generator Forms"​ video.


The DWM's "Registration Fee Schedule" provides information on the fees associated with various HW generator activities.
​

On-site Treatment of Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste may be treated onsite by the generator under certain conditions and with approval by DWM's Hazardous Waste Branch. An initial proposal for onsite treatment activities by a generator must be accompanied by a clear explanation of the process, a description of all wastes to be handled by the process, the capacity of the process, the type of unit in which the process will be conducted, documentation that the process will adequately protect public health and the environment, and other pertinent information. A list of requirements for on-site treatment can be found in the Hazardous Waste Branch's "Treatment On-Site Determination Request" document.


Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities

​A Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) Facility Permit is required before constructing and operating a facility that treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste onsite. Some industries obtain TSD permits to store containers or tanks for extended periods. Information on the fees to construct and operate TSD facilities can be found in the Hazardous Waste Branch's "Permit Fee Schedule" document.​​​​​​​​


More information on HW in Kentucky can be found on the DWM's Hazardous Waste​ Branch's webpage​.​​​​​​​ ​​

The universal waste (UW) designation can apply to the following types of items if they have hazardous waste components:

  • Aerosol cans​
  • Batteries
  • Lamps (lightbulbs)
  • Mercury-containing devices
  • Pesticides
If you're unsure if your waste is hazardous, best practice is to conduct a Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)​ or reference product Safety Data Sheets (SDS).


Since management under hazardous waste rules has stringent requirements for disposal, the universal waste categorization:

  1. eases the regulatory burdens on their generators,
  2. makes them easier to recycle,
  3. and helps keep them out of landfills.

More information on the difference between hazardous waste and universal waste regulations can be found on the EPA's​ website​.​​​​

Kentucky’s underground storage tank (UST) regulations and procedures are established in 401 KAR Chapter 42. Installation, repairs, or modifications of UST systems are permitted and planned by the Office of the Kentucky State Fire Marshal. Permit applications and other information can be found on their Hazardous Materials Section website.


More information can be found in the 42-020 UST System Compliance Manual PDF or the DWM's "Underground Storage Tank Branch" webpage.​

Waste tires are tires not used for their original, intended purpose due to wear or damage, used tires stored for resale, and processed waste tire material. On-the-road tires, as well as off-road tires, are subject to Kentucky’s Waste Tire Program, which requires transporters, accumulators, and processors of waste tires to obtain a registration (KRS 224.50-85) and post financial assurance (KRS 224.50-862).


Mo​re information can be found on the DWM's "Waste Tire Permitting" webpage.​

Examples of municipal solid waste facilities include:

  • Landfills
    • ​Contained
    • Construction/demolition debris (CDD)
    • Residual
    • Special waste
  • Material recovery facilities
  • Transfer stations​
  • Composting facilities
  • Beneficial reuse
  • Waste tire sites

Permits and Registration types:

  • Permit-by-Rule (PBR)
  • Registered Permit-by-Rule (RPBR)
  • Formal Permit
  • Waste Tire Registration

​More information about these specific permits can be found on the DWM's Solid Waste Branch's webpage and the Recycling and Local Assistance Branch's webpage.​​​​​​​

​​Water Permitting

A Kentucky Division of Water (DOW) permit is required whenever activities involve a withdrawal of water, a location within a floodplain, a discharge into the state’s waters, or a threat to a water resource. DOW permits are generally required for construction activities and activities associated with wastewater treatment.​

The DOW has compiled a list of fact sheets​ that cover many water programs and requirements.

To protect Kentucky’s waterways, businesses involved in various activities — such as manufacturing or construction projects larger than one acre — are often required by law to obtain a KPDES water permit.

You can determine if your business needs coverage by:


Once you have confirmed that KPDES coverage is necessary, you must apply for either a general or individual permit.  This is done by submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) through Kentucky’s eForms portal before beginning any construction or operations.

General Permits

General KPDES permits cover common specific categories of industry or activity, provided the facility meets certain eligibility criteria.  Below are the more common general permits and their respective guidance documents:

KYR10 - Stormwater Construction

​​​​​​​A temporary permit is required before starting any construction that disturbs one or more acres of land.​


KYR00 - Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activities

​​A broad permit, also known as the Multi-Sector General Permit, that includes timber processing and facilities using non-contact cooling waters.


KY​NE - Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activities-No Exposure

Businesses that require KPDES coverage per SIC code can opt for the KYNE if all industrial materials and operations are shielded from rain and snow.  This certification waives water sampling and monitoring requirements, provided that runoff remains separate from all industrial activity.​


KYG11 - Construction Material Manufacturing Operations

​​A permit for establishments engaged in the manufacture and delivery of concrete products, concrete blocks, bricks, and hot-mix asphalt.


Individual Permits

A facility that is not eligible for a general permit may be required to apply for an individual KPDES permit.  This process includes a mandatory public notice period for the draft permit. For a detailed overview of the application process, including specific instructions and required fees, please refer to the DOW's “KPDES General Instructions” document​.​​​​​

Water Sampling Requirements

KPDES pe​rmits often include technology-based or water quality-based effluent limits. To ensure compliance, facilities must sample water from permitted outfalls (the point where water leaves the facility) at a specified frequency.

Laboratory Certification
Water samples obtained for KPDES compliance purposes must be collected by a laboratory certified with the DOW's Laboratory Certification Program (KLCP). Facilities that prefer to self-sample must obtain a Fi​eld-Only Certification from the Wastewater Lab Certification Program (KWLCP) to test pH levels. Samples must then be transported to a full-service certified laboratory for further testing.


Water Sample Reporting
To meet regulatory requirements, monitoring data from the collected water samples must be submitted electronically.  Results must be uploaded to the netD​MR website​ no later than the 28th day of the month following the end of your monitoring period.

For help with NetDMR:


Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Many KPDES permits require the implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) which may also be called a Best Management Practices Plan (BMPP).  These plans should be designed to minimize the pollutants carried off-site by stormwater, protecting local waterways and public health.

Links to guidance documents and templates are found in the DOW's "SWPPP/BMP" document.

Self-Inspections
To maintain permit compliance and ensure your SWPPP/BMPP measures are functioning correctly, qualified personnel must perform regular self-inspections.  It is essential to review your specific permit to confirm the required inspection frequency and to maintain an organized observation log.

At minimum, your log should document:

  • Date and time of the inspection
  • Weather conditions (including precipitation intensity)
  • Detailed observations of site conditions and management practices
  • Corrective actions taken or planned
  • Signature of qualified personnel


Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC)
Although not directly enforced by DOW, Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans are often incorporated with SWPPP/BMPPs.  Overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency, a SPCC plan, signed by a Professional Engineer, is required for your facility if:

  • There is reasonable expectations oil spills could reach water sources
  • Oil storage has accumulated over 1,320 gallons aboveground; or
  • Oil storage has reached 42,000 gallons underground.


Guidance and examples may be found at the EPA's SPCC webpage.​​​

Projects that propose work in or near streams, rivers, and/or wetlands will likely require a federal permit prior to disturbance. Examples of activities that may require these certifications include:

  • Relocating streams 
  • Constructing stream bank protection
  • Constructing boat ramps
  • Clearing or building a wetland
  • Constructing a dam
​

The DOW Water Quality Certification Section reviews federal permits to ensure projects do not harm water quality in Kentucky. 


If your designed activities involve placing or removing dirt, rock, or other materials close to a waterbody or wetland, before starting operations, please contact the DOW and your local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) office​.​​​

To protect structures from flood damage, Kentucky law (401 KAR 4:060​) requires a state floodplain permit before starting any construction, demolition, or renovation within a floodplain​. Additionally, projects affecting streams or wetlands may require a Water Qualit​y Certification, and many local governments mandate their own separate permits.

Applicants may qualify for a general permit or must file an individual application. For specific guidance, consult the DOW’s "Understand your Flood Hazards" webpage, the Floodplain Management Factsheet.

General Permits
The DOW offers General Permits for eligible low-impact projects, allowing developers to proceed without submitting a formal application for state review.  While these activities are pre-approved under specific conditions, it is highly recommended to contact the DOW to confirm eligibility before starting work.

Floodplain General Permit for Floodplain Development (KY FPGP)
Coverage for development that does not change the Base Flood Elevation and poses minimal flood risk potential.

Floodplain General Permit for Nonsubstantial Improvement of Structures (KY FPGP-NSUB)
Coverage for nonsubstantial improvements-defined as repairs or renovations where the total cost (including labor) is less than 50% of the structures value.

Individual Permit
General Permits do not cover new structures, water-impounding projects, or developments in protected waters (special, exceptional, or outstanding state resource waters).

If your project is ineligible for a General Permit or could change the Base Flood Elevation, you must obtain an Individual Permit. To get started, review the application submission instructions to apply for a state floodplain construction permit.

Local Considerations
In addition to state requirements, communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) must issue their own local floodplain permits. Under Kentucky law, these local governments have the authority to adopt stricter standards than the state minimum. These higher standards are designed to further reduce property damage, lower insurance claims, and minimize the risk to human life and community infrastructure.

Before beginning your project, consult your local floodplain coordinator to discuss community-specific requirements and the local application process.​

To balance economic and public water needs with long-term sustainability, a DOW permit must be obtained before withdrawing water from any ground or surface source. 

To apply for a water withdrawal, please submit a Wa​ter Withdrawal Application to the Watershed Management Branch. You can find submittal instructions with the application and can also find more information on the DOW's "Water Withdrawal" webpage​.​​​​ 

Permits or authorizations are NOT required for the following:​​
  • Withdrawals of less than 10,000 gallons per day 
  • Use of water for agricultural (example irrigation) and domestic purposes  
  • Production of steam-generating plants of companies whose retail rates are regulated by the Kentucky Public Service Commission 
  • Water injected underground in conjunction with operations for the production of oil or gas

Groundwater is an excellent resource and a vital source of drinking and agricultural water for many Kentuckians.  Groundwater recharge provides water for our streams, lakes, ponds, rivers, and wetlands. 

To ensure proactive groundwater protection measures, Kentucky Regulation 401 KAR 5:037 requires any person or entity conducting activities that have the potential to pollute groundwater to create and submit a Groundwater Protection Plan (GPP) to DOW’s GPP Program Coordinator. 

This document identifies sources of potential pollution and affiliated best management practices (BMPs) that will be used to protect groundwater.  Examples of generic GPPs are available at DOW’s Groundwater Protection Plan website. 

Activities that require GPPs are found in Section 1(1) of 401 KAR 5:037. Some of these include:
  • Pesticide or fertilizer use (for business or public purposes)  
  • Waste management processes (related to storing, treating, handling, and/or disposal)  
  • Industrial storage and loading areas (of raw materials, construction activities, finished goods, or recyclable substances, etc..)  
  • On-site sewage systems installation and/or use (includes residential septic systems) 
  • Road maintenance material storage and surface use (like dust control chemicals or deicing products)  
  • Construction or closing of wells, boreholes, or core holes in the ground 


​​For more information, please view the webinar recording for "ECAP RECAP: An Overview of Groundwater Protection Plans​.

​

In Kentucky, a dam is defined by KRS 151 as any structure that is either 25 feet in height (measuring from the downstream toe to the crest) or has a maximum impounding water capacity of 50 acre-feet or more.  Structures that have the potential to cause significant property damage or pose a threat to life in the downstream area are regulated in a similar manner to dams.  

It is encouraged prior to new dam construction or proposed modifications to review permitting instructions and inspection expectations by contacting DOW personnel found on the Dam Safety webpage. 

For​ more information, please visit the DOW's "Dam Safety" webpage​.​​​​​​

Some activities require additional approval at the local level ​before discharging wastewater.


Septic System Installation​​​

Septic systems require approval from the local health department​.


Municipal Water Pretreatment

Facilities that discharge wastewater to a municipal system are bound to pretreatment limits, approvals, and permits set by the local authority.​

Farm Construction Greater than an Acre​

While crop cultivation is exempt from obtaining a permit to control the quality of stormwater, a construction stormwater general permit, KYR10, is required for construction of holding ponds, barns, feeding areas or construction activities that disturb one acre or more. 


Liquid Manure Handling System Construction

Anyone planning to build a liquid manure waste handling system must obtain a construction permit before beginning construction.  


All Farms 10 Acres or More

To protect surface and ground water from agriculture and forest activities the Kentucky Agriculture Water Quality Act was enacted.  All farms of 10 acres or more are required to adhere to applicable Best Management Practices (BMPs) developed by the Agriculture Water Quality Authority (AWQA) and to develop a site-specific Agricultural Water Quality Plan. The Division of Conservation has created tools to aid in the creation of such plans. 


Nutrient Management Plan for Animal Feeding Operations

Animal Feeding Operations (AFOs) are classified as facilities where animals have, are, or will be held and fed in unvegetated enclosures for more than 45 days out of the year.  To reduce excess nutrients from entering waters, AFOs are required to develop a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) that is consistent with AWQA and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Code 590. 


​More detailed information on the following topics can be found with the Surface Water Permit Branch on their "AFOs and CAFOs" webpage.


Kentucky No Discharge Operational Permit (KNDOP) for Eligible Animal Feeding Operations

AFOs with a liquid manure waste handling system are required to obtain a KNDOP to legally operate.  Dry waste systems are not required to have a permit.


KPDES Coverage for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)

Operations that are defined as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) pursuant to 401 KAR 5:060, Section 5, are required to obtain a Kentucky Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (KPDES) permit. In order to be categorized as a CAFO, an operation must first meet the definition of an animal feeding operation (AFO).
