A lawsuit filed by Teton County water quality advocates apparently spurred state water regulators to admit that they had incorrectly issued a septic permit to the company developing a controversial, 11-unit glamping site near Teton Village. “This is just the beginning, but it took a lawsuit by POWJH for the [Department of Environmental Quality] to obey the law,” Quinn said in an email. “This was a great first step in protecting the Fish Creek watershed on this state land parcel.”
