The Florida Department of Environmental Protection says Blue Origin’s wastewater at its Merritt Island facility does not contain fuel or hazardous materials. The company discharges roughly 40,000 gallons per day into a stormwater retention pond, far below its 490,000-gallon permit limit. DEP says the water is monitored and not directly dumped into the Indian River Lagoon, and any permit renewal will ensure compliance with state environmental laws.
