Notice of Proposed Permit Action
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) received a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit application for corrective action from Coffeyville Resources Terminal, LLC, the owner and operator of the former oil refinery located at 1589 US-183 Hwy., Phillipsburg, Kansas (Facility). KDHE is providing notice of their intent to approve the RCRA permit, EPA identification number KSD007134695.
The permit requires Coffeyville Resources Terminal, LLC, to continue implementation of corrective actions previously approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and includes general corrective action provisions to address any newly identified releases, solid waste management units, or areas of concern. The permit does not authorize any treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste not associated with corrective action.
The draft permit is being considered for issuance under authority of the Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) 65-3430 et seq. and Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) 28-31-4 through 28-31-279a. Documents that support the draft permit conditions and all data submitted by the applicant are part of the administrative record.
State hazardous waste laws require that the public be given at least 45 days to review the administrative record for the draft permit prior to KDHE taking a final action. The purpose of having a public comment period is to ensure that interested parties have an opportunity to evaluate the conditions specified in the draft permit and to provide their input into the permit decision-making process. A copy of the administrative record which includes the draft permit, the fact sheet, the permit application, and all information submitted by the applicant is available for public review April 23, 2026 through June 9, 2026, during normal business hours at the following locations:
