### Subject: From Icicle Seward 

### ADEC and EPA, Our meal plant is temporarily broken down. Our seafood waste is going out our outfall in accordance with permit requirements. We are waiting on meal plant repair parts to arrive mid week. We can not be assured ofthe time it will take to install the new parts and makethe proper adjustments to the rest ofthe system to operator. We are well below the 10 million pound allowable discharge atthis time; however, as a proactive measure we plan on starting to grind and discharge seafood waste at sea, in accordance to all requirements of the permit, via a shuttle vessel. We will start this program on Monday, August 13or Tuesday Aug 14th. We will continue to discharge some portion of our seafood waste at sea until the meal plant is operational. This email shall serve as notification to ADEC and EPA that we are going to discharge at sea. We believe that all paper work and authorization is place to do so. We gained authorization in 2003 through the NOI process to discharge in an area in the middle of Resurrection Bay. The authorization letter was dated May22, 2003. A full sized chart of Resurrection Bay, with the appropriate discharge area indicated, was sent to EPA on April 29, 2003. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at your earliest opportunity. Please confirm the date and timethat you received this email. Thank you, ICICLE SEAFOODS, INC.
