Juneau aggregate firm settles EPA stormwater violations for $12,797

EPA proposed a $12,797 settlement with Colaska Inc. for alleged Clean Water Act violations at the company's AggPro industrial site in Juneau, where stormwater discharges flow into Lemon Creek. The agency's June 4, 2026 public notice frames the action as a proposed administrative settlement. The allegations are not a judicial finding of liability.

The agency alleges Colaska failed to maintain routine site inspection reports, quarterly visual assessment documentation, corrective action records, training records, noncompliance reporting documentation, and its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan under the Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Multi-Sector General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity. The permit, numbered AKR06AA89, covers the AggPro facility at 1836 Anka Street. The violations involve documentation and reporting deficiencies, not a reported spill or release.

EPA is using an Expedited Settlement Agreement to simultaneously commence and conclude the matter, the same streamlined enforcement mechanism the agency used in 2020 for Secon, a Colaska subsidiary, at Hidden Valley Quarry in Juneau. That case required a $1,875 civil penalty for failures to sign and certify inspections and visual assessments and to maintain required photographs and training records.
