NAC also entered an Administrative Order on Consent to ensure that NAC’s quarry operations come into compliance with the Clean Water Act, EPA regulations, and Alaska’s Multi-Sector General Permit. The Administrative Order on Consent requires NAC to update the Ugadaga Quarry Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and site map; conduct required monitoring, sampling and reporting; conduct required inspections; and conduct required annual training. Alaska’s Multi-Sector General Permit requires industrial facilities to take steps to minimize discharges of pollutants and sediment from stormwater.

The settlement resolves alleged violations that were documented during an inspection at the Ugadaga Quarry in 2018, including:
