Mr. Doley and Mr. Anderson,

I am working with a number of Alaska Seafood Processors on a variety of

issues involving the new NPDES permit to be issued by the State of

Alaska's Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). ADEC

has been delegated the NPDES program for seafood waste from EPA and is

in the process of developing permits that will allow for seafood

discharges from shore to 3 nautical miles. The survey questionnaire

generated by EPA Headquarters has caused some confusion by the

recipients due to this recent delegation.

Those recipients have asked me to contact you to make two requests:

1. We would like to seek an extension of time to respond. All the

facilities that have received the questionnaire are commencing their

busiest production season due to salmon returns to Alaska;
2. We would like to schedule a meeting or teleconference with you so

that all recipients can gain a better understanding of their obligations

under the survey and to ask questions.

Would you kindly respond to these requests at your earliest convenience?

My contact information is attached, so please let me know if you have

any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

John Iani

Folks -

While I noted this request during the conf. call, I meant to mention

that, given most of the recipients are represented by John Iani, it

would be important that we be together on a conf. call with these folks

to hear the request and their basis. While I can ck your calendars, pls

let me know your preference for a day and approx. time period. I would

like to do this Mon or Tues. at the latest. BTW, who will be replacing

Peter Ford from ORC? Thx,

Don

 |Request for Extension of Time to Respond to EPA Survey 

|

>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|

Don,

Pursuant to our teleconference today, I am making a request on behalf

of the following entities for an extension of time to respond to EPA's

"Questionnaire for Canned and Preserved Seafood Processing Facilities in

Certain Locations of Alaska":

1. Maruha/Nichiro, c/o Alyeska Seafoods, Seattle, WA

 Maruha/Nichiro, c/o Westward Seafoods, Seattle, WA

 Maruha/Nichiro, c/o Peter Pan Seafoods, Seattle, WA

 Maruha/Nichiro, c/o Premier Pacific Seafoods, Seattle, WA

2. Trident Seafoods, Seattle, WA

3. Icicle Seafoods, Seattle, WA

4. Ocean Beauty Seafoods, Seattle, WA

As we described on the teleconference, each of the entities above are

commencing their busiest production seasons as the herring, salmon, and

B season pollock fisheries begin in Alaska. Each company is extremely

busy with commencing production and the competent personnel required to

complete the questionnaire will be consumed with compliance with all

operational environmental regulations and those responsible for the

financial section of the questionnaire will be busy with the financing

needs required for seafood production. In addition, as was explained by

John Woodruff of Icicle Seafoods, many of the facilities that are

targeted by the questionnaire are now deployed in various remote

locations in Alaska. Those facilities have limited communications and

the personnel required to respond to the questionnaire are responsible

for day to day operations of the facility once production has commenced.

The herring season generally runs from March 15 through the 1st of

June; salmon generally runs from 15 May through 31 August; the B season

for pollock generally runs from 10 June through 15 October. The

production facilities where the information necessary to complete the

questionnaire are spread throughout Alaska and are separated by

thousands of miles depending upon the location and species being

produced. Many of the questionnaires need to be transferred in hard copy

as electronic mail is not available on some of the facility platforms.

We respectfully request an extension of time to complete the
questionnaires by 1 October 2010. That date will provide enough time to

complete the surveys with the proper personnel once the majority of

seafood production has finished.

We appreciate very much your consideration of our request. Please let

me know if you have any further questions and would you kindly

acknowledge receipt of this email as a valid extension request for the

afore-mentioned entities.

Thank you,

John
