Washington Department of Ecology settles with South Bend Products, a subsidiary of Tacoma-based Northern Fish Products since 2008, over irregular wastewater reporting. The company faces a fine and mandatory employee retraining on record-keeping. Despite the violations, South Bend will continue controlled wastewater discharge into the Willapa River under specified conditions. The settlement reflects efforts to protect the river's sensitive ecosystem, crucial for wildlife and recreation.
As part of a settlement agreement between the Washington Department of Ecology and South Bend Products, the company must pay a fine and conduct employee retraining on wastewater discharge record-keeping. The training will emphasize preventing common errors in discharge monitoring reports, as stated by the agency. South Bend Products will be permitted to maintain wastewater discharge into the Willapa River under prescribed limits and stringent conditions. Initially, the Washington Department of Ecology imposed a fine of USD 33,000 (EUR 31,000) on the company, which was subsequently reduced under the terms of the settlement agreement.
