DEQ seeks comment on draft IPDES permit for City of Cottonwood The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks comment on a draft Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (IPDES) permit for the city of Cottonwood Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). The city applied for a wastewater discharge permit for its wastewater treatment facility, located at the intersection of East Road and Airport Road in Cottonwood, Idaho. The proposed permit would authorize the discharge of treated municipal wastewater November through April to Cottonwood Creek for five years. The permit identifies the pollutants of concern and the required limits for each pollutant or parameter, and monitoring and reporting requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the permit and protect human health and the environment. Written comments on the draft permit and fact sheet will be accepted through January 22, 2021, at 5 p.m. MST. The draft permit and fact sheet are available for public review at DEQ’s state office (1410 N. Hilton Street), DEQ’s Lewiston Regional Office (1118 F Street) and on DEQ’s website. A public meeting may be held, if requested in writing, by January 6, 2021. Comments and questions regarding this process should be directed to Matt Stutzman or on DEQ's News and Public Comments page. Comments should address water quality considerations and include supporting materials where available. Comments should also reference the City of Cottonwood POTW and permit number (ID0021849).
