Enacting the Kansas organic waste land application accountability act and authorizing the department of health and environment to regulate the land application of biosolids and organic waste materials, except when applied by a bona fide farmer conducting normal farming operations on land owned or leased by such farmer.

HB 2682 requires commercial land spreaders (not farmers conducting normal operations on their own land) to obtain permits and follow strict rules for applying biosolids and organic waste to farmland. Key provisions include mandatory annual testing for pathogens, nutrients, and PFAS; a 1,000-foot buffer from residences; prohibitions on application during frozen/saturated soil conditions or near water sources; and requirements for odor control and recordkeeping. The law empowers the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and counties to enforce compliance through inspections, fines, or cease-and-desist orders for violations. It also defines "nuisances" related to odors or dust and allows counties to adopt additional local restrictions.
