My fishing vessel does all of its processing outside of Alaska waters. Do I have to pay a wastewater discharge authorization fee?
EPA issues authorizations for seafood processing discharges under the General Permit for Offshore Seafood Processors in Alaska, effective March 1, 2010 to February 28, 2015. Information about EPA’s general permit is located on EPA’s permitting website: http://yosemite.epa.gov/R10/WATER.NSF/NPDES+Permits/General+NPDES+Permits If a fishing vessel enters Alaskan waters and discharges any wastewater including, for example, gray water or washdown water while off-loading in port, the discharge requires an authorization from DEC.
