PERI & SONS FARMS LABOR HOUSING:

Permit Number NS2014505

Peri and Sons Farms is proposing to continue discharging from their onsite sewage disposal systems (OSDS) at the Peri and Sons Farms Labor Housing Facility (LHF) located in Yerington, Nevada. Peri and Sons owns 78 acres of farmland and operates a LHF on the east end of the property, used mostly by seasonal farm workers and some year-round employees. The LHF discharges domestic sewage to gravity fed systems consisting of 24 septic tanks and associated leach fields located throughout the property. The total capacity of the septic tanks on the property is 58,500 gallons. The discharge activities were previously covered under general permit GNEV9201. The Division required the Permittee to seek coverage under an individual permit because the total capacity of the septic system is greater than 15,000 gallons.

On the basis of preliminary review of the requirements of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended, and implementing regulations, the Administrator proposes to issue Permit NS2014505 to discharge for a five (5) year period, subject to certain effluent limitations.

Persons wishing to comment upon or object to the proposed determinations by the Administrator regarding permit issuance should submit their comments or request a hearing in writing, hand delivered or postmarked no later than 5:00 P.M. on 11/17/2025, either in person or by mail to:
