Hello, my name is Jeffrey M. Sanders and you are viewing the homepage of Kentucky Environmental Matters. It is blog that offers newsworthy items to our readers related to information of on environmental and engineering science, groundwater, drinking water, hazardous waste, solid waste, air pollution, toxic tort, and human health issues.
We will cover civil and criminal environmental and regulatory topics ranging from U.S. EPA and the Kentucky Energy and Environmental Protection Cabinet. Some stories will be local and some will be national. If something on the international front may affect one or more of our clients, you will see the issue here in our blog.
We hope to provide topical information on environmental matters to members of the general public, regulated community in Kentucky, and citizens of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. We are doing this because the environment matters.

Would a report in regard to what appears to be an entity polluting Barren River be kept anonymous?
Do you urge or is there a law requiring farmers to fence their cattle from rivers?
Is runoff from a concrete facility directly into the river considered pollution?
And who to report these to if they are indeed reportable?
Sincerely, Martha Deputy
