HB 2693 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibiting certain applications of swine waste, establishing setback rules and requiring applicators to prevent nuisance conditions.

HB 2693 regulates how swine waste is applied to agricultural land in Kansas. It prohibits certain application methods (like high-pressure nozzles) and requires low-pressure nozzles under three feet, contour buffer strips on slopes ≥3%, and specific setbacks from homes, roads, parks, and wildlife refuges. The bill mandates that swine facilities with 1,000+ animal units submit detailed nutrient utilization plans - including soil tests, crop rotations, and application rates - to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for approval. These plans must be updated as needed and include measures to prevent odor or nuisance conditions for nearby residents. The law directly affects large swine operations and aims to manage waste application to protect land, water, and community health.
