Idaho sugar company failed to prevent industrial stormwater discharges, violated federal clean water rules (ID)



The Amalgamated Sugar Company, of Paul, Idaho, violated the Clean Water Act when it discharged stormwater without authorization under a federal industrial stormwater permit – the Multi Sector General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity – according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“To help protect Idaho’s water quality, industries that discharge stormwater must follow the pollution controls required by the industrial stormwater permit,” said Ed Kowalski, director of EPA’s enforcement program in Seattle. “Companies who fail to comply with the industrial stormwater permit can put Idaho’s environment at risk and face federal penalties.”


The Amalgamated Sugar Company is an industrial facility and is required to apply for and comply with EPA’s Multi-Sector General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity. If the company had complied with the industrial stormwater permit, they would have been required to develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan and to conduct regular self-inspections of their stormwater controls.


In 2012, the company discharged 4,000 gallons of stormwater from its storage lagoon to a drainage and irrigation ditch that drains to the Snake River, without authorization under the industrial stormwater permit. To settle the violations, the company agreed to pay a $7,500 fine and comply with the permit’s stormwater controls and environmental protections.


The Multi Sector General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity is available to new applicants only until September 30, 2013. Because this permit is expiring, it is important for industrial stormwater dischargers that need permit coverage to seek it immediately.

Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier



This advanced technology was developed, refined, and proven through diligent, investigative research and testing performed by water purification specialists, researchers and engineers. The media within the filter element removes contaminants by a surface phenomenon known as "adsorption" which results from the molecular attraction of substances to the surface of the media. As the bottle is pressed, the source water is forced through the filter. The quality and volume of media used, determine the rate of adsorption.


The flow rate or time of exposure through the filter has been calculated to yield the greatest volume removal of toxic chemicals caused by pollution from industry and agriculture. This exclusive filter element is impregnated with proprietary "absorbing" media that promotes IONIC "absorption" of pollutants within the micro-porous element, such as aluminum, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and other dangerous heavy metals. The "Tortuous Path" structure of these pores gives it its unique characteristics. The Sport Berkey® Portable Water Purifier offers a convenient and portable filtration system using medical grade technology.


Note: If using a source of water that might contain extreme bacteriological or viral contamination, it is recommended that two drops of plain chlorinated bleach or iodine be added to each refill before filtering. This will kill minute pathogens such as viruses. The disinfectant will then be filtered from the water entirely removing its odor, color and taste.

Chlorine, Fluoride and lead Oh my! NYC Tap deliver more than just water.



When you turn on your faucet what are you expecting? Water, right? Well, in NYC is water unfortunately not the only thing you get from the tap. You may have heard about the controversy over the fluoride added to our water supply, maybe you even heard about the lead increased levels that the EPA has warned us about-or maybe you can actually taste the chlorine when you take a SIP. Anyway, it is important that all New Yorkers know what they are actually drinking and cooking with when using water straight from the tap.

If there is an ingredient label on NYC tap water would look something like this:


Ingredients: Water (H20), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), Fluoride, prescription pharmaceutical products (including Acetaminophen (nonprescription drug) Butalbital (Barbiturate), caffeine (stimulants), Carbamazepine (anticonvulsant), Cotinine (nicotine metabolite), Diazepam (antianxiety drug), Gemfibrozil (antihyperlipidemic), Ibuprofen (nonprescription drug), Nicotine (stimulants), Para xanthine (stimulants), unfortified (antibiotic), sulfamethoxazole (antibiotic)), Cis-testosterone (reproductive hormone), Estron (reproductive hormone), progesterone (reproductive hormone), DEET (insect repellent), Giardia, cryptosporidium (protozoa) (bacteria)(microscopic crustaceans), copepods, ORTHOPHOSPHATE, which may contain lead (Pb)


Let me ask you this ... If your faucet this label on it would you still drinking?


Well it's a verifiable fact that these chemicals and pollutants present in your NYC tap water. Each year the DEP from a water quality report for the previous year. Information on what's in our water is present is indicated by means of this report-you can view this information on the website NYS DEP. in addition, if you visit NYC.gov bring you will find a list of what is often found in tap water, including most of the above listed pharmaceuticals.


So what can you do to protect yourself from the numerous health risks these chemicals and contaminants? Well for starters not go into the bottle. Bottled water is in most cases only bottled tap water-but the plastic bottle it myself a other harmful chemical-BPA introduces. BPA has been linked to many health problems including cancer.


The solution: the fact is that high quality reverse osmosis filtration system will remove all these chemicals and pollutants and provide you with pure, healthy water. For a limited time Pure Planet waters, a leader in the industrial filtration is giving away free home filtration systems to qualified NYC homeowners. Call 1-888-NO bottles (1-888-662-6885) to see if you qualify.  Visit http://www.pureplanetwaters.com for more information.

Solar Kettle allows for boiling water off the grid



A company called Contemporary Energy has unveiled a new device it calls the Solar Kettle. It looks very much like a normal coffee thermos, but has flaps on one side that open to allow for collecting solar energy, thus heating whatever is held inside. The company will be marketing the device to campers and others that need a way to boil water when electricity is not available.


The Solar Kettle looks very much like a normal thermos when not in use, though it's heavier—2.6 pounds when empty, compared to about a half pound for a normal thermos. It looks markedly different however when heating a liquid. The flaps open and direct the sun's energy to the vacuum sealed thermos. The device comes with a stand as well to allow for unattended heating. It typically takes about two hours to heat cold water to boiling. The Kettle can also be used to brew tea, melt snow or to boil water to make it safe to drink. And if the need arises, it can even be used to desalinate seawater.


Devices that can make tainted water safe to drink have become increasingly popular as world health authorities have spread the word about the risks posed to people around the world who don't have access to clean drinking water. While the Solar Kettle is not directed towards such end users, it's clear it could very easily be used for that purpose. The device holds 17 ounces of liquid, which is enough to make three cups of tea. That means it's capable of providing enough safe drinking water for one person, indefinitely. Of course that only applies on days when the sun is shining.


Reps for the new device point out that their Solar Kettle can also be used to heat soup, or even to boil eggs. That makes it ideal, they say, for hikers, campers or anyone else who wants to boil water without going to the trouble of setting up a campfire. They note also that the exterior of the device remains cool to the touch during heating, preventing users from getting burned—and because it's heavily insulated, water once heated, will remain that way for several hours.
