The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comment on draft reuse permit renewal (I-050-04) for Amalgamated Sugar Company’s Mini-Cassia facility.
Amalgamated Sugar Company owns and operates an industrial wastewater treatment and reuse facility near Paul, Idaho, that produces recycled water for the irrigation of agricultural crops. The facility has applied to renew its recycled water reuse permit to continue the beneficial use of up to 232 million gallons per year of treated industrial recycled water.
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 September 11, 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.
