Information about Annual Emissions Inventory Reports

The SLEIS website for Annual Emissions Inventory Reports has changed to https://sleis.kdhe.ks.gov. Make sure to update your internet browser bookmarks.

2025 reporting year reports will open in in SLEIS in mid-Jan. and are due April 1, 2026. If you need help to update a report before January, please email kdhe.sleis@ks.gov to request assistance. 

Report fees will remain the same as last year. Class I and Class II facilities will owe fees based on emissions tonnages. Class I facilities owe a base fee even if zero tons are reported. Fees are due at the time the SLEIS report is submitted, and if not submitted prior to or on the deadline of April 1, a $200/day late fee is accrued, including weekends, until the report and fees are submitted. Refer to the fee structure document for more information.
