(KNZA)--Doniphan County will utilize state funds to help cleanup an illegal dumpsite in the county.

The Doniphan County Commission voted Monday to utilize the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's illegal dump cleanup program for the cleanup of a site on Runnymede Road.

Funding up to $10,000 is available per project, with a 25 percent local match required.

Doniphan County's share can be made in the way of in-kind contributions for use of equipment and labor.

KDHE will be responsible for investigating the illegal dumpsite.

In the event a responsible party is identified, they will be responsible for reimbursement to KDHE and enforcement under Kansas law.
