Big fine for Westward, salmon exluders, and opies

摘要

Westward fine: Westward Seafoods in Unalaska was fined $570,000 by the Environmental Protection Agency in April for violating the U.S. Clean Air Act and the Emergency Responders and Community Right to Know Act. The violations included operating generators without air control equipment, which releases smog-causing, lung-irritating nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere. The company also burned fuel with too much sulfur in it and did not report 80,000 pounds of ammonia to local emergency responders.
