EPA penalizes Idaho company over $20,000 for Clean Water Act violations
SEATTLE – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today that
Clearwater Forest Industries LLC of Kooskia, Idaho, will pay $23,950 for
violations of Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. 
The facility had a total of 23 violations of their Multi-Sector General Permit
for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, including
failure to:  
maintain stormwater control measures 
maintain a complete Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan map 
submit monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports  
submit the 2019 Annual Report on time  
complete inspection report forms 
“These are not simple paperwork issues: they are violations of foundational
requirements intended to safeguard the integrity of our Nation’s
waterways,” said EPA Region 10 Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance Director Ed Kowalski. “EPA will continue to work through the Clean
Water Act permitting program to ensure that facilities follow the law and are
not putting the critical rivers, wetlands and lakes of the Pacific Northwest
at risk.” 
The facility discharges stormwater into the South Fork of the Clearwater
River, which is popular for recreation and is a tributary of the Snake River,
one of the major rivers in the region. The stretch of the Clearwater River
where the facility operates is considered an impaired waterway due in part to
sedimentation, which can be worsened by pollutants from industrial lumber
operations, such as wood shavings and oily residue.  
The facility currently operates within the Nez Perce Reservation.  
Additional details can be found in the Consent Agreement and Final Order.
