The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is extending the public comment period for a draft permit for the Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. Stibnite Gold Project.

The initial public comment period for Perpetua’s draft Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit was initially set for July 7. The public now has until July 22 to submit feedback, according to a press release from Idaho DEQ.

Perpetua Resources applied for a wastewater discharge permit for its industrial wastewater treatment facility, located in Valley County, approximately 12 miles east of Yellow Pine, Idaho.

The draft permit would authorize the discharge of treated industrial wastewater year-round to Meadow Creek and to the East Fork of the South Fork Salmon River for five years, the press release said. The permit identifies the pollutants of concern and the required limits for each pollutant, as well as monitoring and reporting requirements “necessary to ensure compliance with the permit and protect human health and the environment,” according to Idaho DEQ.

The draft permit and fact sheet are available for public review at DEQ’s State Office (1410 N. Hilton St. in Boise), DEQ’s Boise Regional Office (1445 N. Orchard St. in Boise), and on DEQ’s Public Comment Opportunities webpage. Written comments on the draft permit and fact sheet will be accepted through 5 p.m. Mountain time on July 22, according to the press release.

Comments should address water quality considerations and include supporting materials where available, according to the press release. Comments should also reference Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc., Stibnite Gold Project, and permit number ID0030066.

The public can submit comments electronically on DEQ’s website or via mail or email to:
