    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 is proposing to reissue a general permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for specific marine net pen facilities in Puget Sound. This draft permit would apply to tribal enhancement net pens, which can raise up to 200,000 pounds of native salmonids annually, and federal research net pen facilities, which can raise up to 100,000 pounds of native finfish each year. Facilities currently eligible for the permit coverage must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) within 90 days of the permit's effective date, while new facilities starting operations afterward must submit their NOI at least 180 days before they start operating. The EPA is currently accepting public comments on this proposal until March 26, 2021.

  • 2024-29241 — Modification of the NPDES General Permit for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) Located in Idaho Excluding Tribal Lands (IDG010000)
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 100485
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making changes to a general permit for large animal feeding operations in Idaho, except on Tribal lands. This is in response to a court ruling that said the permit did not include necessary water pollution monitoring. The updated permit will take effect on February 1, 2025, and will be managed by the state of Idaho, but the EPA will continue overseeing permits in Indian Country. Public comments were reviewed before finalizing the changes.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is changing some rules for large farms in Idaho to help keep water clean. They have to start checking for pollution in 2025, but this doesn't change the rules for farms on Tribal lands.
