BOVILL – The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks comment on a draft Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (IPDES) permit for the city of Bovill Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW).
The city of Bovill applied for a wastewater discharge permit for its wastewater treatment facility, located at the intersection of Highway 3 and Highway 8 in Bovill, Idaho.
The draft permit would authorize the discharge of treated municipal wastewater from November through April to the Potlatch River for five years. The permit identifies the pollutants of concern, 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.
Written comments on the draft permit and fact sheet will be accepted through June 2, 2023, at 5 p.m. MDT. The draft permit and fact sheet are available for public review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 N. Hilton Street, Boise, Idaho), DEQ’s Lewiston Regional Office (1118 F Street Lewiston, Idaho), and on DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities page. A public meeting may be held, if requested in writing, by May 17, 2023.
Comments and questions regarding this process should be directed to Triffie Ransom, or submitted via DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities page. Comments should address water quality considerations and include supporting materials where available. Comments should also reference the city of Bovill and permit number ID0022861.
