Blue Origin Seeks Permit To Dump Rocket Waste In Indian River

Blue Origin is asking Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection for permission to discharge millions of gallons of processed and non-processed rocket wastewater into a stormwater pond that flows into the Indian River. Brevard County commissioners are reviewing the proposal and may request a public meeting. The company says the request renews a permit that has been in place for over five years and assures operations will comply with state regulations.
