MDNR Peterson State Fish Hatchery - Wastewater Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for the MDNR Peterson State Fish Hatchery site.
The Minnesota DNR Peterson State Fish Hatchery near Peterson produces trout for stocking Minnesota’s lakes and rivers. Water from two natural springs flows through the hatchery’s rearing units before the hatchery discharges it to an unnamed creek. A maximum of 5.04 million gallons of water per day flows through the hatchery.
The draft water quality permit adds monitoring requirements for temperature and sulfate.
Wastewater from industrial and commercial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could adversely affect the water quality in area wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes. Water quality permits - or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits - establish specific limits and requirements to protect Minnesota's surface and groundwater quality. All wastewater must be treated before it goes into surface water to protect human health and aquatic life. Permits are regularly reviewed and updated as they expire, allowing the MPCA to incorporate new information about the impacts of pollutants on the environment in future permits.
