The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks comments on a draft Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (IPDES) wastewater discharge permit for Jug Mountain Ranch LLC.
Jug Mountain Ranch LLC applied for a wastewater discharge permit for its private wastewater treatment facility in McCall, Idaho. The collection system has no combined sewers and serves 262 residents. The permit would authorize the discharge of treated municipal wastewater year-round to Cold Creek for five years. The permit identifies the pollutants of concern and the required limits for each pollutant or parameter, and monitoring and reporting requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the permit and protect human health and the environment.
The draft permit and fact sheet are available for review at DEQ’s state office (1410 N. Hilton St. Boise, Idaho), DEQ’s Boise Regional Office (1445 N. Orchard St. Boise, Idaho), and on DEQ’s website.
Written comments will be accepted through March 9, 2026, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time. A public meeting may be held, if requested in writing, by February 20, 2026. Comments should address water quality considerations, include supporting materials where available, and reference the Jug Mountain Ranch and permit number ID0028029. All information regarding this matter, including the issuance of the final permit, will be available on DEQ’s website.
Submit requests for a public meeting on the draft permit and fact sheet electronically on DEQ’s website, or by mail or email to Matt Stutzman.
