DEQ seeks comment on a proposed settlement action with Lennar Homes of Idaho, LLC at Eagle Ridge Subdivision – Phase 3

Accepting comments from October 14, 2025, through November 14, 2025.

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

Lennar Homes of Idaho, LLC obtained coverage under the Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 2022 Construction General Permit for Discharge Activities (Permit IDRlOC0DJ) as an operator at Eagle Ridge Subdivision – Phase 3 construction site in Eagle, Idaho. DEQ alleges that on September 26, 2023, the company failed to comply with all applicable conditions of the Permit. DEQ prepared an expedited settlement agreement and consent order directing Lennar Homes to resolve the violations and either pay a civil penalty or request a compliance conference. The company resolved the violations, paid a civil penalty of $4,625, 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 Street, Boise, Idaho). Written comments will be accepted through November 14, 2025 at 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. This settlement action may be amended or adjusted in the future, in which case, DEQ may
provide an additional public comment opportunity.
