The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (DEQ) has issued a notice of proposed action concerning the renewal of groundwater discharge permit NS0020001 for the United States Air Force (USAF) Tonopah Test Range. This notice signifies a proposed regulatory action to renew the permit, which governs the discharge of wastewater into groundwater. The DEQ has made available a draft permit, a fact sheet detailing the proposed changes and rationale, and the public notice itself for review.

Regulated entities and interested parties should review the provided draft permit and fact sheet to understand the proposed conditions for the USAF Tonopah Test Range's groundwater discharge operations. Public comments on this proposed action are likely expected, although a specific comment deadline is not provided in this notice. Compliance with the final renewed permit will be required once issued, and failure to comply with its terms could result in enforcement actions by the DEQ.
