This page provides access to Kentucky Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (KPDES) forms for permit applications and forms related to oil and gas and to antidegradation. These forms are available in both Word and PDF format.

New fees for surface water permitting went into effect Nov. 18. For permit applications under consideration prior to Nov. 18, the balance of the permitting fee (80%) will be collected under the old fee structure. Affected entities submitting applications after Nov. 18 will be subject to the revised fees.

401 KAR 5:310 "Surface water permit fees" adjusts the fees that were in KRS 224.70-120 and creates a fee for an industrial KNDOP and for a coal mining general permit. The individual discharge permit fees were adjusted based on the consumer price index. The fees established for general coal permits and industrial KNDOPs are based on the cost to review the permit application.
