DEQ
BOISE — The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality on Thursday announced the finalization of the Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Multi‑Sector General Permit, a regulatory tool governing stormwater discharges from industrial facilities statewide. The permit takes effect May 2.
The announcement is critical for companies operating in Idaho that discharge industrial stormwater. The federal Clean Water Act regulates the discharges, and companies engaging in these activities must hold a permit to operate legally. Failure to comply with the new permit could result in enforcement actions or require operators to obtain individual permits.
