- Purpose of Public Notice The Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is soliciting comments on the request to modify 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. Utah Code Ann. 19-1-301.5 can be viewed at the following internet URL: https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title19/Chapter1/19- 1-S301.5.html. Permit Information Permittee Name: Mango II-Milford, LLC Mailing Address: 111 E. Broadway, STE 1250 Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 Facility Location: Beaver County, Utah ress: Ground Water Discharge Permit No. UGW010008 is being modified for the continued operation of swine production facilities owned by Mango II-Milford, LLC ('Mango II'). The permitted facilities are located in Beaver County, approximately 22 miles south of Milford, 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. The ground water quality beneath farm sites ranges from Class 1A Drinking Water Quality to Class III Limited Use Water Quality. Modification 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. Revisions to the probable out-of-compliance and out-of-compliance notification requirements. 2. Adjustments to probable out-of-compliance and out-of-compliance confirmation sampling frequencies. 3. Timeline adjustments for the submission and implementation of Source and Contamination Assessment Study Plans. 4. General language edits throughout the Permit to improve clarity and consistency with Mango II's other Ground Water Discharge Permits near Milford, Utah. 5. Mango II is now required to determine and report the hydraulic gradient and flow direction for each farm system that contains a confirmed out-of-compliance upgradient monitoring well. Public Comments Public comments are invited any time prior to March 5, 2026. Written comments may be directed to the Division of Water Quality, PO Box 144870, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-4870. All comments received prior to close of business on March 5, 2026, will be considered in the formulation of final determinations to be imposed on the permit.
