DEQ seeks comment on hazardous waste storage permit renewal for Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc.

Accepting comments from May 6, 2025, through June 23, 2025.

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks comment on a hazardous waste storage permit renewal for Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc.

Safety-Kleen operates a solvent collection and reclamation facility in Boise, Idaho. As part of its operation, the company temporarily stores waste solvents in above ground storage tanks and container storage areas. Much of the solvents are recycled into useable products while other spent materials and hazardous wastes are shipped to a permitted treatment or disposal facility.

The draft permit renewal would allow the company to continue operations and set forth procedural requirements for storage of hazardous waste, and eventual closure of the units to ensure protection of human health and the environment.

The permit materials are available for public review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 North Hilton Street, Boise, Idaho 83706) and on DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities page.  Written comments will be accepted through June 23, 2025, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time. Submit comments electronically using the form below or by mail or email to:
