The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks public comment on a proposed settlement action with Apex Land Group, LLC, located in Fruitland, Idaho, regarding its Dagger Falls Subdivision site in Emmett, Idaho.

DEQ issued a Notice of Violation on August 3, 2026, directing Apex Land Group, LLC to resolve the alleged violations and either pay the assessed civil penalty or request a compliance conference. Following a compliance conference and review of additional information and Record of Resolution documentation provided by Apex Land Group, LLC, DEQ adjusted the assessed penalty.
