The State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Environmental Information Exchange Network (CFDA 66.608) Grant Program. The award will enable DEQ to:
-
Continue developing systems to gather, store, and transmit the Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (IPDES) program data to the EPA's Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS-NPDES) in compliance with federal electronic reporting requirements.
-
Further enhance DEQ's web-based e-permitting system for permittee application and reporting submissions.
-
Assess DEQ's current e-permitting system and database to identify opportunities to improve functionality, efficiency, and effectiveness in supporting environmental protection activities.
The award period is from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026. DEQ will leverage the grant to streamline environmental data management, increase data quality and access, and reduce reporting burdens for regulators and the regulated community.
