Governor Laura Kelly Appoints Casey Richard of Miltonvale to Agricultural Remediation Board

Governor Laura Kelly announced Friday that Casey Richard of Miltonvale has been appointed to the Agricultural Remediation Board.

In 2000, the Kansas Legislature passed the Agricultural and Specialty Chemical Remediation Act that created the Remediation Reimbursement Program, the Kansas Agricultural Remediation Fund, and the Kansas Agricultural Remediation Board.

The Kansas Agricultural Remediation Board is a seven member, governor-appointed, volunteer board consisting of one agricultural retailer, one agricultural producer, one agricultural processor, one specialty chemical distributor, one agricultural and specialty chemical registrant.

The Kansas Agricultural Remediation Board administers the Kansas Agricultural Remediation Fund and the remediation reimbursement program.  The Kansas Agricultural Remediation Board meets quarterly to review applications to the program and disburse funds for approved expenses to eligible applicants.
