The mission of the Field Operations Branch is to identify and abate imminent threats to human health and the environment through fair and equitable inspections, technical assistance and education.
The branch performs inspections at sites managing solid waste, hazardous waste, underground storage tanks and PCBs. The primary duty of a regional inspector is to check the compliance of waste facilities.
Hazardous Waste Inspections - If your business is subject to hazardous waste management regulations requiring inspections, this page will help you know what to expect.
The branch includes a central office and 10 waste management regional offices located throughout Kentucky. Staff from these offices are familiar with the local waste management issues and can respond to your questions and concerns.
NOTE: There is a toll-free number (888 NO-DUMPS) 888-663-8677 available statewide to report illegal dumping activities.
