Purpose of Public Notice: The Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is soliciting comments on the request to issue a ground water discharge permit as described below. The ground water discharge permit is issued by the Director of the Division of Water Quality under authority of the Utah Water Quality Act, Section 19-5-106(g) Utah Code Ann. 1953, as amended and Utah Admin. Code R317-6. Under Section 19-1-301.5, effective May 8, 2012, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the substance and significance of the issue.

Permit Information Permittee Name: Mango II-Milford, LLC Mailing Address: 111 E. Broadway, STE 1250 Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 Facility Location: Iron County, Utah Groundwater Discharge Permit No. UGW210005 is being renewed for the continued operation of swine production facilities owned by Mango II-Milford, LLC ('Mango II'). The permitted facilities are in Iron County approximately 34 miles northwest of Parowan, Utah. Manure from the hog production facilities is washed into anaerobic basins for treatment and storage. The permitted facilities at each farm site consist of one primary lagoon and one containment basin for evaporation. In addition to well monitoring, the basins are lined with a flexible membrane liner for the protection of ground water. Addendum to the Permit At the request of the Permittee, changes were made to the Permit, including general language changes for consistency across all of Mango II's Ground Water Discharge Permits and changes to the out-of-compliance notification process. The changes proposed in this modification include: 1. Changes to notification timelines and requirements for out-of-compliance monitoring wells. 2. General language edits throughout the Permit to improve clarity and ensure consistency with Mango II's other Ground Water Discharge Permits near Milford, Utah.
