What is KS Department of Health and Environment?

Kansas Department of Health and Environment Bureau of Environmental Remediation (BER) and Division of Environment (DOE) services on agency host Four curated layers: layer 0 Reported Spill Locations (~32,284 events — 5 SPILL_STATUS values: Closed 30,860, Transferred 699, Referred 499, Open 174, "not recorded" 52; 106 Title-Case counties led by Sedgwick 2,321, Wyandotte 1,799, Butler 1,709, Johnson 1,648, McPherson 1,413; SPILL_DATE / INCIDENT_DATE / CLOSED_DATE epoch-ms with `TIMESTAMP` filter support; LEAD_AGENCY=KDHE only); layer 0 Tank Site Locations (~17,506 AST+UST facilities — 5 FAC_STATUS values: ALL Out of Use 8,844, Currently In Use 5,534, No Status Recorded 2,599, Temp/Pending 512, Unknown 17; 6 FAC_DIST KDHE district codes NCDO/NEDO/NWDO/SCDO/SEDO/SWDO; permit/expire/unpermit AST+UST tank counts); layer 0 Identified Sites List (~3,736 cleanup sites across 13 PROGRAMNAME values: Federal Facilities 646, Voluntary Cleanup 604, Brownfields 596, State Cooperative 536, Site Assessment 427, Orphan Sites 253, Dry Cleaner Remediation 228, Environmental Use Controls 191, Superfund 102, Storage Tanks 60, Sector ID 43, BER 38, Risk Management 11; STATUSDESC: Resolved 1,942 / Active 1,439 / Resolved with Restrictions 253 / Transferred out of Bureau 96 / UNKNOWN 6); layer 1 KEIMS Programs Environmental Interest Finder (~39,754 records across 8 ENV_INT_TYPE_DESC values: Storage Tanks AST/UST 17,506, LUST 11,944, Identified Sites 3,716, Stormwater Runoff 2,959, WWTP 2,224, Air Title V 246, Air Synthetic Minor 726, Drycleaner 433). §0 surprises: legacy host agency host is DEAD — TLS cert mismatch (cert subject is agency host). BER/Spills_DASC data services publishes 0 layers (uninitialized) — handler uses Spills_viewer_public/0 instead. Spills MEDIUM_AFFECTED is FREE-TEXT (100+ distinct values with whitespace/parens) — handler exposes substring match only. Tanks_DASC county column is FAC_CNTY (not COUNTY); 105 distinct Title Case (no dups). ISL_DASC has BOTH COUNTYNAME (UPPERCASE) and COUNTYABBR (2-letter) — handler uses COUNTYNAME. KEIF4KEIMS L1 has no county column — only CITY. KEIF L0 Non-KEIMS (53K) is a duplicate visualization tier with no program type — not exposed. ; Last verified live 2026-05-08.
