## Summary

On April 12, 2023, EPA signed a Federal Facility Consent Agreement with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service that will require it to take specific actions at its Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery (CBNFH) in Orland, ME to reduce the amount of phosphorus it discharges to Alamoosook Lake. The CBNFH, which raises salmon for an endangered species restoration, has been unable to meet the phosphorus effluent limitations in its discharge permit issued by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act. The required actions include best management practices and, if necessary, either fish reduction at the hatchery or construction of a bypass pipe to larger water body.
