Region 10 Settles with Granite Construction for CWA Violations (Girdwood, AK)
On 3/26/2021, EPA Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement resolving violations of the
Construction General Permit by Granite Construction Company (?Respondent?), located in Girdwood,
AK. Granite Construction Company operates the Seward Highway MP 75-90 Road Materials Site RV
Park construction site, where it failed to install and maintain erosion and sediment control measures.
Since erosion leads to sediment and other pollutants entering Waters of the United States, EPA
estimates this action reduces 13,948 lbs of sediment from discharging off-site and reaching the
Turnagain Arm Cook Inlet. The Respondent has also agreed to pay a penalty of $2,700.
