DEQ Rulemaking: Ground Water Quality Rule
58-0111-0801, Negotiated Rulemaking
| |
Rulemaking to Clarify Portions of the Ground Water Quality Rule to
Promote Consistency in Application of the Rule to Mining Activities.
This Rulemaking is a Continuation of Negotiated Rulemaking
Initiated in July 2007. |
Overview |
The purpose of this rulemaking is to clarify portions of the Ground Water Quality Rule to promote consistency in application of the rule to mining activities. This rulemaking is a continuation of negotiated rulemaking initiated in July 2007 and will consider the following issues:
- Add definitions necessary to improve statewide consistency with interpretation and implementation of active mineral extraction provisions of the Ground Water Quality Rule;
- Points of compliance for ground water quality related issues at sites with active mineral extraction; and
- Applicability of rule changes.
The mining industry, conservation groups, environmental protection groups, state and federal land management agencies, and concerned citizens of the state of Idaho may be interested in participating in this rulemaking. Upon conclusion of negotiations, DEQ intends to publish a proposed rule for public comment in the summer of 2008 and then present the final proposal to the Board of Environmental Quality for adoption of a pending rule in the fall of 2008. If adopted, the pending rule will be reviewed by the 2009 Idaho Legislature.
