DEQ seeks comment on draft 401 water quality certification for refining site remediation and lakeshore enhancement activities at former Panhandle Smelting site
Accepting comments from April 19, 2024, through May 10, 2024.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks comment on a draft 401 water quality certification for refining site remediation and lakeshore enhancement activities at the former Panhandle Smelting site.
The remediation effort will take place at the former Panhandle Smelting and Refining Company site. Past smelting activities have contaminated the soil with heavy metals and left behind contaminated materials, including arsenic, lead, and zinc. A large remnant of the PRSC is a slag pile named Blackrock. The activity will clean up the contaminated site, isolate Blackrock with shoreline protection, and provide a public recreational area. This certification, with Nationwide Permit 14, addresses only the first phase of the activity.
Based upon review of the federal permit application, readily available water quality related materials, and certification request in accordance with the Clean Water Act § 121.5 (b) and (c) and 121.7 (c), DEQ, certifies that if the permittee complies with the terms and conditions imposed by the permit and the conditions set forth in this water quality certification, then it is reasonable for DEQ to conclude that the activity will comply with water quality requirements, including applicable requirements of the Clean Water Act §§ 301, 302, 303, 306, and 307, Idaho’s “Water Quality Standards” (IDAPA 58.01.02), and other appropriate water quality requirements of state law.
The certification materials are available for public review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 N. Hilton Street, Boise, Idaho) and on DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities page. Written comments will be accepted through May 10, 2024, at 5 p.m. (MDT). Submit comments electronically via DEQ’s public comment form or by mail or email:

DEQ seeks comment on draft 401 water quality certification for Amish Ranch berm remediation project
Accepting comments from April 19, 2024, through May 10, 2024.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks comment on a draft 401 water quality certification for the Amish Ranch berm remediation project.
The project proposes to remove approximately 2,000 cubic yards of imported fill material from the ordinary high-water mark of a Boise Riverside channel in Canyon County, Idaho. The project is being conducted in response to a notice of violation issued to the applicant by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for unauthorized fill in Waters of the United States. The proposed project would remove the constructed berm to restore the area to near pre-existing conditions, while also constructing grade control features at the head of the side channel to prevent future downcutting and complete capture of the main channel of the Boise River. The project proposes additional stabilization of the banks by establishing vegetation using native plantings, and riprap structures. The project is designed to maintain historic flow regimes within the side channel, while still addressing concerns of the applicant. The proposed project would reconnect the Boise River with its natural side channel and would result in impacts to 540 linear feet of the river. There are no reported impacts to wetlands resulting from this project.
Based upon review of the federal permit application, readily available water quality related materials, and certification request in accordance with the Clean Water Act § 121.5 (b) and (c) and 121.7 (c), DEQ, certifies that if the permittee complies with the terms and conditions imposed by the permit and the conditions set forth in this water quality certification, then it is reasonable for DEQ to conclude that the activity will comply with water quality requirements, including applicable requirements of the Clean Water Act §§ 301, 302, 303, 306, and 307, Idaho’s “Water Quality Standards” (IDAPA 58.01.02), and other appropriate water quality requirements of state law.
The certification materials are available for public review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 N. Hilton Street, Boise, Idaho) and on DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities page.

DEQ seeks comment on draft reuse permit for city of Kuna
Accepting comments from April 9, 2024, through May 9, 2024.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comment on a draft reuse permit for the city of Kuna.
The city is proposing to construct, own, and operate a new Class 1 municipal wastewater treatment facility that will receive domestic wastewater from buildings constructed at the site of a future data center. The facility will initially treat up to a half-million gallons per month of municipal wastewater but is sized and designed for increased future flows. Treatment will be through three facultative lagoons and chlorine disinfection. The treatment process will produce Class C recycled water to be supplemented with irrigation groundwater, applied to 30 acres of reuse fields for growing alfalfa and silage corn in the growing season, and held in two storage lagoons during the non-growing season.
Operation of the wastewater treatment and reuse facility is expected to begin in 2024, shortly after a final reuse permit is issued. The permit would authorize reuse operations for nine years and establish monitoring requirements, limits on nutrient and hydraulic loading, and conditions established by DEQ to protect public health and the environment.
The permit materials are available for public review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 North Hilton Street, Boise, Idaho 83706), DEQ’s Boise Regional Office (1445 N. Orchard Street Boise, ID 83706), and on DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities page. Written comments will be accepted through May 9, 2024, until 5 p.m. MDT.

DEQ seeks comment on draft 401 water quality certification for Area 380 drainage improvement project
Accepting comments from March 29, 2024, through April 19, 2024.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks comment on a draft 401 water quality certification for a drainage improvement project along an unnamed tributary, also known as Area 380, to the Clearwater River.
The proposed work includes installation of a stop log weir at the culvert intake, construction of a sediment stilling basin, approximately 460 linear feet of shoreline stabilization, and construction of the access road into the stilling basin for cleanout purposes. Construction of these features would be performed by contractors hired by the Walla Walla District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) July 2024 through December 2024. Work would be conducted during low-flow conditions and the construction site would be dewatered. The proposed discharge is associated with the USACE’s plan to install concrete slabs within the sediment stilling basin, install an access ramp, and install a shoreline revetment along the eastern shoreline of the intermittent stream.
Based upon review of the federal permit application, readily available water quality related materials, and certification request in accordance with the Clean Water Act § 121.5 (b) and (c) and 121.7 (c), DEQ, certifies that if the permittee complies with the terms and conditions imposed by the permit and the conditions set forth in this water quality certification, then it is reasonable for DEQ to conclude that the activity will comply with water quality requirements, including applicable requirements of the Clean Water Act §§ 301, 302, 303, 306, and 307, Idaho’s “Water Quality Standards” (IDAPA 58.01.02), and other appropriate water quality requirements of state law.
