We invite public discussion and comment on two different draft water quality permits related to the Washington State Fire Training Academy.

We will hold a public hearing that covers both the draft Industrial Wastewater NPDES Permit (no. WA0031836) and the draft State Reclaimed Water Permit (no. ST0045506). We will start with an open house, followed by an informational presentation about both draft permits and time for questions, before the formal hearing begins.

  • 5:30 p.m.  - Open House 
  • 6 p.m.  - Informational presentation 
  • Question and Answer session
  • Public Hearing 

The public hearing is an opportunity for formal spoken testimony on the draft permits and associated information. It will end when the testimony is done. Spoken testimony will receive the same consideration as written comments.
