The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comment on draft reuse permit (M-275-01) for the City of Post Falls.
The City of Post Falls owns and operates a municipal Class IV wastewater treatment plant and is proposing to produce Class A recycled water to irrigate the Post Falls Community Forest. The reuse site is located south of the treatment plant in Post Falls, Idaho. The City of Post Falls plans to produce 1 million gallons of recycled water per day from its reuse facility, which will be used to irrigate 199.6 acres of native forest during the growing season.
The draft reuse permit establishes monitoring requirements, limits on nutrient and hydraulic loading, and conditions established by DEQ to protect public health and the environment. As part of the permitting process, the facility was also required to show that its operation would not cause public health or environmental concerns.
Written comments on the draft permit will be accepted through July 13, at 5 p.m. mountain time. The draft permit and staff analysis are available for public review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 N. Hilton St., Boise, ID 83706) and below under related documents.
