BOISE – The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comment on a draft water quality certification for Regional General Permit No. 27.
Regional General Permit No. 27 is for the construction, repair, or replacement of non-commercial piers and floating docks with a total deck area of 700 square feet or less for a single-use and 1,100 square feet or less for a joint-use pier or floating dock.
