On May 6, 2024, Region 10 entered into a Consent Decree with PotlatchDeltic Land & Lumber, LLC (PotlatchDeltic) resolving violations of the Clean Water Act. In the settlement, the company agreed to: (1) pay a $225,000 civil penalty; (2) implement injunctive relief designed to ensure that it will meet the compliance schedule in its new NPDES permit for its stormwater outfalls; and (3) perform two mitigation actions designed to protect and enhance habitat for trout and salmon in Hangman Creek on PotlatchDeltic's property and within the Coeur d'Alene Tribe's reservation. Specifically, PotlatchDeltic will: (a) Record a Conservation Easement granted to the Tribe to provide 100-year, no timber harvest stream buffers of 75 feet along more than 17,800 feet of shoreline for five streams on PotlatchDeltic's property, protecting about 61.25 acres; (b) replace four road culverts that are currently blocking fish passage and limiting access to spawning habitat; and (c) place into service all four culvert replacement and improvements, and record the Conservation Easement, by November 15, 2024.
