CdA protests ‘lenient’ hatchery permit

• Also: SR editorial in opposition to the way Washington handled the permit

The city of Coeur d’Alene has joined a handful of other wastewater dischargers appealing a Washington state agency’s discharge permit they say is too lenient. Sid Fredrickson, wastewater superintendent for the city of Coeur d’Alene, said he has joined other dischargers and environmental groups to appeal a wastewater discharge permit for a fish hatchery that is operated by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Fredrickson said the Washington Department of Ecology renewed the fish hatchery permit without requiring the agency to do quarterly samples of its wastewater effluent as all other Spokane River dischargers are required to do under their discharge permits/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press.
