SEATTLE, WASH. (AP) – A Seattle-based seafood processor operating in Alaska would pay a $1.3 million civil penalty for clean air violations under a proposed settlement.
The U.S. EPA says Westward Seafoods would also need to spend about $2 million on air pollution reduction projects and emissions monitoring at Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
Westward Seafoods self-reported that three employees turned off air pollution controls from 2009 to 2011 at a processing plant.
The three pleaded guilty to falsifying records.
