Preliminary Draft Permit Review:
Start Date: 09/01/2023
End Date: 09/15/2023

Permit No.:
AK0052388

Applicant:     
Peter Pan Seafood Company, LLC
King Cove Facility
500 Cannery Row
King Cove, AK 99612

Proposed Project and Location:
Peter Pan Seafood Company owns, operates, and maintains the facility, which conducts seafood processing and seafood meal reduction. The facility adjoins the community of King Cove, Alaska on King Cove.

Water used in bailing, butchering, processing, and fluming is collected before final discharge and passed through a 0.5-millimeter (mm) screen to recover residual tissue pieces. Screened wastewater is discharged without further treatment through Outfall 003A. 

Screened solids and unusable seafood parts are sent to the meal reduction plant. Non-contact cooling water (used for can cooling) and the meal plant condenser and evaporator cooling water is discharged through Outfall 002A.

Outfall 002A discharges at a depth of - 30 ft mean lower low water (MLLW). The line is buried in rip rap at the end of the Van Dock. Outfall 003A discharges at approximately - 49 ft MLLW. The outfall line is angled up from the seafloor at a 45-degree angle. It is constructed of 8-inch welded steel pipe and is within a bracket that supports the terminus approximately five feet above the seafloor.

There is a 32-foot radius mixing zone for temperature around Outfall 002A.

There is a 100-foot radius mixing zone for color, turbidity, and residues around Outfall 003A. There is also an authorized 1.0-acre zone of deposit for residues on the seafloor.
