AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Region 10 proposes to
modify the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) general
permit for concentrated animal feeding
operations (CAFOs) in Idaho excluding
Tribal lands (Permit). EPA proposes to
modify the Permit to establish
monitoring conditions for the

subsurface discharges of pollutants from
production areas and dry weather
surface and subsurface discharges from
land application areas at these CAFOs to
waters of the United States. A Petition
for Review was filed on September 22,
2020, in the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals challenging the Permit; the
Court granted the petition. The modified
permit includes new and revised
conditions to address the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeal’s Order and Opinion
filed on December 16, 2021 (Food &
Water Watch et al. v. U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (No.
20–71554)).
DATES: Comments must be received by
September 1, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Comments and requests
regarding the Modified Permit must be
submitted to epar10wd-npdes@epa.gov
with the subject line: Public Comments
on IDG010000.

request. Requests may be made to
Audrey Washington at (206) 553–0523.
Requests may also be electronically
mailed to: washington.audrey@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The modification is a major
modification pursuant to 40 CFR
122.62(a)(15). EPA Region 10 reissued
the NPDES General Permit for CAFOs in
Idaho (IDG010000) on May 13, 2020; the
Permit became effective on June 15,
2020 (85 FR 28624). Subsequently, a
Petition for Review was filed on
September 22, 2020, in the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals, challenging the
Permit on the basis that it did not
contain representative effluent
monitoring to ensure compliance with
all applicable effluent limitations in
violation of the Clean Water Act and
implementing regulations (Food &
Water Watch et al v. U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (No. 20–71554). The
Court granted the petition holding that
the Permit failed to include monitoring
to ensure compliance with the discharge
prohibitions in the Permit. The
Modified Permit includes new and
revised conditions to address the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeal’s Order and
Opinion filed on December 16, 2021
(Food & Water Watch et al. v. U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (No.
20–71554)).
