These Wastewater Reuse and Buffer Zone Locations are maintained by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality.<br /><br />These data represent the locations of wastewater land application sites and their 500 foot and 1000 foot buffer zones for the State of Idaho's environmental programs. Additionally for ground and surface water quality reporting. In some situations, treated wastewater can be applied to land for irrigation. The small amount of pollutants remaining in the wastewater after treatment are absorbed by the crop or are assimilated into the soil structure. Depending on the contaminants, the water may require pretreatment prior to discharge to meet water quality standards. DEQ issues permits for facilities treating wastewater and sludge through this method.<br /><br />Wastewater Reuse HMU (Hydraulic Mangement Unit) Application Fields Wastewater is spent or used water, such as from households and businesses, that contains enough harmful material to damage the water's quality. Every building with running water generates some sort of wastewater. Wastewater may contain contaminants such as oil, dirt, human waste, and chemicals. Untreated wastewater can cause serious harm to the environment and threaten human health. Proper management and disposal of wastewater is essential to protect public health and Idaho's water quality.
