Public Notice: PROPOSED TEMPORARY TURBIDITY INCREASE IN BEAVER CREEK

The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) has received a request from Mountain View Building, Inc. for a temporary increase in turbidity in Beaver Creek near Shell, Wyoming. The temporary increase in turbidity is associated with the construction of a temporary road crossing.

Activity in cold water streams like Beaver Creek is normally limited to a ten (10) NTU increase over background. Approval of this request would allow an exceedance of this limit for up to four (4) total working days, subject to monitoring and reporting. This activity will follow the procedures in Chapter 1, Section 23(c)(ii), of the WDEQ Water Quality Rules, which allow for temporary elevated levels of turbidity in certain circumstances. The applicant has secured a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit for the project.  

Requests for information about the proposed temporary turbidity increase should be directed to Eric Hargett by email (*[email protected]* <[email protected]>) or phone (307-777-6701). Written comments must be addressed to Eric Hargett, Wyoming DEQ/WQD, 200 W. 17th Street – 4TH floor, Cheyenne, WY, 82002, and be postmarked on or before 5:00 p.m. on October 10, 2024, to be considered. Electronic comments may only be submitted through and accepted by the Wyoming DEQ comment portal provided at *[link removed]* [ [link removed] ]. Phone comments will not be accepted.
