How Kansas takes it
Kansas takes Tier II through KDHE’s own web system, where you key the data in. Our answer is the worksheet you type from.
This state does not take the file. Our answer works as the worksheet you type from, with the rule behind every number.
The filing is due 1 March each year and covers the calendar year before it. Kansas does not pass it on for you — we checked. Filing closes the state’s copy only; your local committee and fire department each need their own from you.
Before you send it — what else Kansas asks for
Two things that catch people out. Filing online is not the end: the system says your submission is not complete until you print the certification letter and the fee calculation worksheet it generates and post them, with the fee, to the Right-to-Know office. And you cannot start on the day — a login is issued by request, so ask for one well before 1 March.
Does Kansas set its own limits?
Kansas's own agency says it uses the federal thresholds, and we read that page rather than assuming it. We have not gone behind it to the state code, so we say that too.
Kansas keeps the federal numbers and repeats them in its own words: 10,000 lb for a hazardous chemical, and 500 lb or the planning quantity for an extremely hazardous substance, whichever is lower. Retail gas stations get the federal 75,000-gallon allowance, with the same underground-tank conditions. The Kansas-only work comes at the end. Filing online does not finish it. The printed certification letter, the fee worksheet and the fee itself must reach the Right-to-Know office.
The words we read
Kansas KDHE, “Community Right-to-Know Reporting” (kdhe.ks.gov), read 2026-09-11 through the Internet Archive snapshot dated 2026-04-28 (the live site refuses our requests with HTTP 403 and we do not work around that, so this is the page as of that date). The page lists the thresholds itself: “For Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS): either 500 pounds or the Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ), whichever is lower. The TPQ of an EHS can be found on the EPA’s Consolidated List of Lists. For gasoline (all grades combined) at a retail gas station: the threshold level is 75,000 gallons (or approximately 283,900 liters), if the tank(s) was stored entirely underground and was in compliance at all times during the preceding calendar year with all applicable UST requirements at 40 CFR part 280 … For all other hazardous chemicals: the threshold level is 10,000 pounds.” Those are the federal figures and conditions, restated — we found no Kansas figure of its own.
Where we read this
- KDHE Tier II Online, “FAQs” (kansas.tier2online.com/faqs.php), read 2026-09-07: “For your submission to be considered complete, you must print and send your certification letter and fee calculation worksheet(s) after updates are finished.” KDHE, “Community Right-to-Know Reporting” and its Tier II information sheet: reporting is through the web system at tier2online.kdhe.ks.gov, a user ID and password are required and new users request them from the Right-to-Know office (kdhe.rtk@ks.gov), the deadline is 1 March, and fees run from $25 to $300 depending on total reportable pounds. Nothing on those pages says the system imports an EPA Tier2 Submit file, so we do not claim ours works here.KDHE, “Community Right-to-Know Reporting” (kdhe.ks.gov), read 2026-09-11 through the Internet Archive snapshot dated 2026-04-28 (the live site refuses our requests with HTTP 403, so this is the page as of that date): “Facilities must submit an annual inventory of these chemicals by March 1 of each year to their State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), and local fire department.” The same page gives the numbers: “For Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS): either 500 pounds or the Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ), whichever is lower … For gasoline (all grades combined) at a retail gas station: the threshold level is 75,000 gallons … For all other hazardous chemicals: the threshold level is 10,000 pounds.”Checked 2026-09-11
