County department cited for stormwater discharge violation
The state Department of Ecology issued a $2,000 civil penalty to the Clark County Public Works Department for violating technical requirements of a stormwater discharge permit at the Salmon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The penalty applied only to stormwater management procedures at the site. Discharge of treated sewage effluent continues to comply with a separate state permit.
Ecology issued the penalty in late April after a state inspector found the county failed to follow routine monitoring and recordkeeping requirements in the state permit. The county also did not keep the plant's stormwater pollution prevention plan up to date.
