City of Bonners Ferry Mayor David Sims said the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality gave the city permission to dump excess snow into the river because the city’s regular snow storage located off of Arizona Street reached capacity. About 200 loads of snow has been dumped into the river since Sunday.

Sims said the city has not requested assistance from the state, but may have to consider that if the coming snow and rain cause flooding.
