DEQ seeks comment on proposed settlement action with Progressive Development, LLC 

Accepting comments from July 15, 2025, through August 15, 2025. 

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks comment on a proposed settlement action with Progressive Development, LLC for violations of the Clean Water Act and the “Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Rules” (IDAPA 58.01.25). 

Progressive Development, LLC obtained coverage under Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (IPDES) 2022 Construction General Permit number IDR10C0U2 as an operator at the Lapwai Road site in Lewiston, Idaho. DEQ alleges that on October 30, 2023, the company failed to comply with all applicable conditions of the permit. DEQ prepared an expedited settlement agreement and consent order directing Progressive Development, LLC to resolve the violations and either pay a civil penalty or request a compliance conference. Progressive Development, LLC has resolved the violations, paid the civil penalty of $1,935, and signed the consent order. 

The proposed settlement action is available for public review on DEQ’s website and at DEQ’s State Office (1410 N. Hilton St., Boise, ID 83706). Written comments will be accepted through August 15, 2025, at 5 p.m. MST. This settlement action may be amended or adjusted in the future, in which case DEQ may provide an additional public comment opportunity.
