On February 26, 2018, the U.S. District Court of Alaska entered a Consent Decree resolving Clean Air Act (CAA) violations by Westward Seafoods, Inc., at its Captains Bay seafoods processing facility in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. The State of Alaska is also a party to the decree. The alleged violations include failure to use existing air pollution controls for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from three generators and related monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting violations under Westward Seafoods CAA permits. These failures also violated an existing consent decree with Westward Seafoods signed in 2010. The newly filed settlement with Westward Seafoods requires Westward to pay a total civil penalty of $1,300,000, reflecting stipulated penalties of $730,000 for violations of the 2010 Consent Decree and $228,000 to the State and $342,000 to EPA under the newly filed consent decree. The newly filed decree also requires Westward to implement an enhanced preventative maintenance and operations plan, conduct electronic monitoring of its generators and pollution controls, and submit to third party verification of its compliance with CAA permits and the consent decree. These injunctive relief projects are expected to take at least three years to complete, at a cost of $897,829. Westward is also required to spend at least $1,137,680 on lighting efficiency and other energy efficiency projects to mitigate the 104 tons of excess NOx resulting from the violations.
