Status of Rulemaking
Negotiated rulemaking meeting May 22, 2024.
Overview
DEQ initiated this rulemaking in compliance with Executive Order No. 2020-01, Zero-Based Regulation (EO 2020-01), issued by Governor Little on January 16, 2020. Pursuant to EO 2020-01, each rule chapter effective on June 30, 2020, shall be reviewed by the agency that promulgated the rule. The review will be conducted according to a schedule established by the Division of Financial Management, Office of the Governor (DFM), posted at https://adminrules.idaho.gov/forms_menu.html. This is one of the DEQ rule chapters up for review in 2024. The goal of the rulemaking is to perform a critical and comprehensive review of the entire chapter in an attempt to reduce overall regulatory burden, streamline various provisions, increase clarity and ease of use.
DEQ intends to begin the process of consolidating environmental fees into one chapter in an effort to streamline access to fee schedules and to provide a single stop for the regulated community to view applicable fees. Phase one would be consolidation of fees applicable to wastewater treatment facilities. This rulemaking includes a proposal to move the IPDES permit fee schedule language currently in Section 110 of 58.01.25, Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Rules, to 58.01.14, Rules Governing Fees for Environmental Operating Permits, Licenses, and Inspection Services. DEQ will also explore the possibility of including a proposal for fees associated with Idaho DEQ’s recycled water program. DEQ has evaluated the current number of recycled water permits and the workload associated with providing permits and compliance assistance for these facilities and determined that a minor fee is necessary to offset the costs to the state associated with this effort.
