BOISE—The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking public comment on a proposed settlement action and consent order with TC Hayden Properties, LLC for violations of the 2022 general permit for discharges from construction activities.
TC Hayden Properties is the operator at the Wildcat Development in Hayden, Idaho, and was unpermitted at the time DEQ cited the violations. Coverage was later obtained under Permit IDR10C0D5. DEQ alleges the company failed to comply with all applicable conditions of the permit. DEQ prepared an expedited settlement agreement and consent order directing TC Hayden Properties to resolve the violations and either pay a civil penalty or request a compliance conference. TC Hayden Properties made payment in full for the civil penalty of $9,750 and signed the consent order.
The consent order is available for review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 N. Hilton St.) and on DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities page. Written comments will be accepted through April 28, 2023, at 5 p.m. MDT. Submit comments electronically on DEQ’s website or by mail or email:
