As Wyoming officials defend their approval of an upscale tent hotel on state land near Teton Village, the state’s own regulators allege the glamping resort is polluting groundwater. Tammah — a hotel of 11 canvas-covered geodesic domes constructed by Utah-based Basecamp Hospitality — must stop using a “sand mound septic system,” the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality states in a violation notice. The DEQ’s Oct. 29 order requires operators of the 4-acre complex, which has been open since spring, to haul waste off-site until problems are fixed or face fines of up to $10,000 a day.
