The E.P.A. (EPA) is reopening the public review period for the Countrywide Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the Potlatch Corporation in Lewiston, Idaho.
Potlatch Corporation produces bleached grades of paperboard, tissue and market pulp by the kraft (sulfate) process. Potlatch also manufactures wood products at the Lewiston facility. The NPDES plan is the primary permitting system under the federal Clean Water Act, which governs all discharges to the nation's surface water. E.P.A. released the original outline of this permit for public review in December 1999.

outline permit (239kb pdf) and

E.P.A. is currently undergoing formal Endangered Species Act consultation with N.O.A.A. Fisheries and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in regard to E.P.A. = s action of issuing this permit. The permit does not include any issues or information raised in the outline Biological Opinions generated by either N.O.A.A. or the Fish & Wildlife Service.
