Summary

This violation arises from an unpermitted discharge of anhydrous ammonia from the Fred Meyer Distriction Center on Nov. 22, 2002. Fred Meyer was not authorized to discharge pollutants under CWA-402. The ammonia was discharged through a storm drain into Carli Creek, a tributary to the Clackamas River. Due to the discharge, everything in a one-half mile of Carli Creek was killed. EPA Region 10 believes that due to the egregiousness of this violation, the maximum penalty of $32,500 should be sought.
