As part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ongoing effort to protect Alaska waters, the agency has reached an $8,500 settlement with Hallmark Investments, LLC (Hallmark), a developer located in Anchorage, Alaska, for Clean Water Act violations.
During a site inspection in May 2005, EPA inspectors discovered that Hallmark violated the Clean Water Act by operating without a required permit for two years at the Wooded Acres Condominiums site in Anchorage.
“While many builders and developers are doing a good job, there are some who are ignoring this important storm water requirement,” said Marcia Combes, EPA’s Alaska state director. “Builders and developers need to obtain the right permits before they start work or, like Hallmark, they will face fines. EPA takes protecting Alaska waters very seriously.”
