BOISE – The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comment on a proposed settlement action and consent order with Russell Corporation for violations of the 2017 General Permit for Discharges from Construction Activities.
The Russell Corporation obtained coverage under Permit IDR10021Y as an operator at Linder Village Offsite US 20/26, Linder Rd. to Locust Grove Rd. DEQ alleges the Russell Corporation failed to comply with all applicable conditions of the permit. DEQ prepared an expedited settlement agreement and consent order directing the Russell Corporation to resolve the violations and either pay a civil penalty or request a compliance conference. The Russell Corporation has made payment in full for the civil penalty of $450.00 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 December 19, 2022, at 5 pm MDT. Submit comments electronically on DEQ’s website or by mail or email:
