LYNDEN, Wash. – A Lynden fish processing company is facing a fine for repeatedly polluting the city’s wastewater.
The Washington State Department of Ecology says Premier Packing was caught discharging fish remnants into the sanitary sewer system on March 24th.
The company is required to screen fish tissue, bones, and skin in order to keep the city’s sewage system running smoothly.
However, they have been caught violating that requirement at least six times since 2017.
Premier Packing was ordered to pay $7,000 in fines as a result of the March incident.
