WRANGELL – An Alaska seafood processor with Oregon ties has reached a settlement with environmental regulators over wastewater violations.
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation says Sea Level Seafoods LLC in Wrangell has agreed to pay $96,332. The DEC says the company cooperated with the state Department of Law and voluntarily entered into the agreement.
Scott Foley with the DEC says the company discharged crab and seafood processing wastewater for at least five years without the proper permits, which specify discharge limits and monitoring, treatment and reporting requirements.
