BOISE—The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comment on a proposed settlement action and consent order with Starr Corporation for violations of the 2022 Construction General Permit for Discharge Activities.
Starr Corporation obtained coverage under Permit IDR10C0FG as an operator at the Jerome Elementary School in Jerome, Idaho. DEQ alleges Starr Corporation failed to comply with all applicable conditions of the permit. DEQ prepared an expedited settlement agreement and consent order directing Starr Corporation to resolve the violations and either pay a civil penalty or request a compliance conference. Starr Corporation made payment in full for the civil penalty of $3,150 and signed the consent order.
The consent order is available for review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 N. Hilton St.) and on DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities page. Written comments will be accepted through April 10, 2023, at 5 p.m. MDT. Submit comments electronically on DEQ’s website or by mail or email:
