EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

Executive Summary 

The overall site is in a high stress environment due to an excellent exchange of water 

as well as heavy flushing action due to surge during storm cycles coupled with the 

shallowness of the water at the survey site. The outfall location along the northeastern 

head of Amaknak Island exposes the area to heavy weather conditions including surf 

that reach heights of over 20 feet. During survey periods, swell conditions were 3 to 5 

feet and the energy from this swell was moving the dive on the bottom back and forth 1 

to 2 feet. The marine life and local fauna in the survey section are normal for the Dutch 

Harbor area. There is no real pile; just a light covering in the area of the outfall terminus 

and the remnants of some of the heavier seafood byproduct has accumulated between 

the large cobble and rock. Historically seafood discharged has been ground up during 

the winter storm cycle and that process was evident during the survey. Processing was 

not l occurring during the survey. 

Total area of continuous coverage for the 2010 survey is 11,711 sq. feet or 0.269 of an 

acre. Total discontinuous coverage for the 2010 survey is 1,842 sq. feet or 0.042 of an 

acre. Total area both continuous and discontinuous is 13,554 or 0.311 of an acre. The 

total area decreased this survey, the largest reduction being in the discontinuous 

coverage area. This figure will fluctuate based on the weather (storms) and the 

production seasons. 

As in the last report, there can be no doubt that the storms which arrive in the fall 

months along with the strong storm surges grind, disburse and transport the seafood 

byproduct to levels below the permit required threshold measurement levels. Further a 

vast amount of mixing with the sand substrate occurs during this storm event which 

eventually makes calcified bone indistinguishable from the sand. 
ICICLE SEAFOODS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • 4 

Some of these fluctuations are due to the continued changing processing seasons as 

well as the timing of storms and wind direction. The dispersion of the processing 

byproduct is highly dependent on the weather cycles. The crab rationalization has 

extended processing times which translates to a shorter time from the end of processing 

and the beginning of the dive survey. At some point the regulatory agencies will have to 

make a determination on where the threshold is ground mixed waste in the sand 

substrate.

METHODOLOGY 

GRID CONSTRUCTION AND DIVE SPECIFICS 

The P/V Bering Star’s outfall line is located in Unalaska Bay at the northern tip of 

Amaknak Island (Diagram1, p. 19). The outfall extends in an easterly direction from the 

shoreline of a spit which forms Dutch Harbor (Diagram 2, p. 20). 
ICICLE SEAFOODS METHODOLOGY • 6 

This survey was conducted using the Alaska General Permit, seafloor monitoring “Tier 

2” monitoring parameters. One transect was extended in a due east (magnetic) starting 

23’ before the outfall terminus and extending 280’ in front of the outfall. The second 

transect was extended 120’ to both the north and south (magnetic) direction (240’ total) 

90° from the first transect (Diagram 3, p. 21) and 50’ in front of the diffuser. 

DIAGRAM 4 

. Water depths were taken by the diver from a UATEC SMART PRO dive computer 

(Diagram 4, p. 6, 22) and converted to mean lower low water (MLLW) for report 

purposes. Waste depth was taken with a hollow slotted PVC probe marked every tenth 

of a foot for measuring purposes. The probes construction ensured the diver could 

effectively examine the substrate and determine waste content. Closer additional data 
ICICLE SEAFOODS METHODOLOGY • 7 

points were taken in areas marked by greater topographic anomalies. This was done at 

the diver’s discretion depending on the waste present and the extremity of the 

irregularity. Upon completion of each dive, divers immediately and extensively 

debriefed on observations made during the dive. A data point matrix (Diagram 5, p. 23) 

of the bottom topography and waste depths was then constructed. This information was 

then entered into a PacSoft engineering survey software package producing a T-Net, 

which was used to generate graphs, maps and waste volume measurements. 

Divers collected data at over 67 separate locations during the survey to insure adequate 

coverage. Scaled still pictures were taken at five different locations in the immediate 

area of the outfall terminus, and these pictures can be reviewed under the section 

labeled scaled pictures in this report. Additionally photos were taken of the marine life 

and bottom which are illustrated on the section labeled Marine life photos. 

Please note that the bottom depths may vary slightly due to the rounding off of tidal 

range to the nearest foot and the ability of the diver’s computer to measure depth to an 

accuracy of +/- 1.0 foot. These depths may vary from the bathymetric survey depths 

due to the following conditions: 

 

1. Divers rounded tidal differences to the 1⁄4 hour. 

2. Divers convert depths off tidal predictions for Dutch Harbor and not the actual 

tide present at the outfall site. 

3. Dive computers cannot compensate for swell and wave conditions. 

4. When measuring old seafood deposition deposits which are in the advanced 

state of decomposition and mixed with the natural substrate determination is 

difficult and somewhat subjective. 

This dive site subjectivity comes from the grinding action of the surf, seafood waste, 

mollusk shells, barnacles and other shell matter is ground into a coarse gain particles. 

These particles when recognizable are counted as waste however as the grid size 

diminishes (below a 1⁄4”) and the surfaces are ground down by the surge, identification is 

more subjective. 

1. Clearly visible seafood byproduct. • Bones, solids, and waste above the 1⁄2” thickness level as per permit requirements 

2. Deposition which is mixed with mud. • When sampled clearly distinguished waste account for over 50% of the volume of the sample 

• The sample has a mix layer with a clearly distinguished waste layer below 

3. Continuous Gaseous discharge. • Areas of bottom with a layer of sediment 0.10’ to 0.30’ (1” to 4”) with continuous gas discharge or 

bubbling 

• When probed a definitive layer of seafood deposition is present below the sediment layer 

4. Gas discharge or visible indicators of layering when sediment is probed. o When probed a quantity of gas is released 

 Sediment is examined to 0.30’ in depth 

 Sponginess or layering present when probed 

o If seafood byproduct is found depth of layer is measured for depth 

 Sediment is examined to 0.30’ in depth

DIVERS OBSERVATIONS 

SURVEY SITE 

The weather before the survey was turbulent with high winds and surf in the area of the 

survey. During the survey, the surge from the swell and surf continually moved the 

diver and his equipment as much as 3 feet even in depths of -35 feet. The Icicle 

Seafoods outfall extends out from shore in an easterly direction and terminates in a 

standard tripod diffuser head. A new diffuser was installed in 2009 and this diffuser is 

already heavily covered with marine growth (Diagram 6, p. 8, 24). Processing was not 

occurring during the survey. 
ICICLE SEAFOODS DIVERS OBSERVATIONS • 9 

As in the past years the weather continues to change the bottom topography, 

sometimes filling the shallow are with coarse grain sand and at other times stripping the 

sand away from the rocks. This turbulent surge is continually shifting the sandy bottom 

in this area continually grinding both the seafood deposition and the natural shell in finer 

particles. 

 The majority of seafood byproduct deposition of continuous is 47 feet aft of the diffuser 

and extends 105 feet in front of the diffuser (East). This coverage extends North 50 feet 

and to the South 65 feet. Deposition present in front of the terminus is the heavier 

particulate between large rock cobble (Diagram 7, p. 9, 25). 

The topography in the deeper water is a mix of small rock covered with kelp and very 

course sand. The discontinuous coverage area consists of areas where the heavy 

surge action has formed the sand into waves one to two feet in height which has small 

measurable amounts collect at the bottom of the waves (Diagram 8 p. 10, 26). 

In the discontinuous zone the heavy surf action and bottom surge is grinding these 

calcified particles with the coarse sand, and in some areas deposition is interspersed 

between the large rocks. The remaining byproduct, when not mixed with the substrate 

has settled in areas between large cobble and rocks or the sand waves formed by the 

wave action. 
ICICLE SEAFOODS DIVERS OBSERVATIONS • 10 

All seafood byproduct appears to be crab and finfish byproduct with 95% of the particles 

less than .5 inches with the majority of byproduct seen intermixed with the sand and 

other shell material. In the discontinuous zone there are incidental areas where the 

seafood byproduct is lodged between some of the large rocky substrate: however many 

of these are in under the measurement requirements of the Alaska general seafood 

permit (Diagram 9 A & B, p. 10, 27, 28). 

In the area of the terminus there is a small cohesive main pile that diminished as the 

diver traveled 105 feet to the East which was followed by trace amounts. Further to the 

east there is a discontinuous area of waste from 220 feet East of the diffuser to 270 feet 
ICICLE SEAFOODS DIVERS OBSERVATIONS • 11 

East of the diffuser which is 50 feet in width and consists of an area of sand waves with 

waste collected in the hollow above the permit threshold. This waste was in motion as 

the survey was performed and the wave action over the winter months will continue to 

disperse the deposition. 

The balance of the survey area has been impacted by seafood waste, although in trace 

amounts, below the measurement threshold of the Alaska general permit (Diagram 10, 

p. 11, 29).The area directly to the south of the diffuser is large cobble covered with kelp. 

The marine life in the area of the outfall terminus is considerably less in the winter 

months due to the lack of kelp growth during this time of year. In summer a very dense 

kelp forest extended from a few feet of the terminus to the shoreline and remnants of 

this kelp forest is still present. Finfish life observed included sculpin, flounder (Diagram 

11, p.11, 30). While inspecting the outfall line a few rock fish were observed in the area 

of the reef. 
ICICLE SEAFOODS DIVERS OBSERVATIONS • 12 

Numerous different species of starfish and sculpin continue to be observed in the 

survey area. As in the previous survey numerous giant green anemones (Anthopleura 

xanthogrammica) and sea urchins (Diagram 12, p. 12, 31) were observed throughout 

the survey area along with numerous other anemone species and various snails in the 

area. 

A non-native sponge which is believed to be native to the Priblof Islands was again 

present in the survey area (Diagram 13, p.12, 32). 
ICICLE SEAFOODS DIVERS OBSERVATIONS • 13 

Total area of continuous coverage for the 2010 survey is 11,711 sq. feet or 0.269 of an 

acre. Total discontinuous coverage for the 2010 survey is 1,842 sq. feet or 0.042 of an 

acre. Total area both continuous and discontinuous is 13,554 or 0.311 of an acre. The 

total area decreased this survey, the largest reduction being in the discontinuous 

coverage area. This figure will fluctuate based on the weather (storms) and the 

production seasons. 

The majority of the surveyed area showed some type of impact from seafood byproduct; 

however the deposition coverage was below the measurable levels as defined by the 

Alaska General NPDES permit. The grinding action of the surf reduces the deposition 

to sand sized particles, eventually making positive identification impossible from the 

ground mollusk shells, barnacles and other marine debris (Diagram 14, p. 13, 33). 
ICICLE SEAFOODS DIVERS OBSERVATIONS • 14 

DIVERS OBSERVATIONS 

OUTFALL LINE 

The seafood discharge line is an eight-inch diameter pipe that extends from shore on an 

azimuth of 105o true (090°magnetic) and is approximately four hundred feet in length 

(Diagram 15, p. 14, p. 34). 
ICICLE SEAFOODS DIVERS OBSERVATIONS • 15 

 The entrance of the outfall line to the bay is in a heavy surf area and transits large rock 

until the reef edge. The outfall line has a set of two forty-five degree angles located 

where the reef drops approximately fifteen feet and this changes the direction of the 

outfall line slightly. The terminus of the discharge line is a new diffuser constructed of 

heavy wall steel pipe and heavy wall H beam base located at the same location as the 

previous outfall line at approximately 53o 54'.799" North, 166o 30' 092" West 

New cathodic protection was installed on both the outfall line and the diffuser in the 

summer of 2009 and is in good condition and still has a few years of useful life 

remaining (Diagram 16, p. 15, p. 35). 

All flanges and connections are in good condition and show no sign of damage

WATER AND WEATHER CONDITIONS 

The wave conditions in the area of this outfall line are varied and severe, ranging 

from calm to waves to the height of twenty-five feet. The direction of the wind 

throughout the season varies to all points of the compass with a tendency for northerly 

gales and storms in the winter to southerly gales in the summer. Heavy surf in the 

survey site is common during the winter storms. Heights of tides in this location vary 

from -1.4’ to + 4.5’ with the estimated tidal current at 1.0 knots in an almost north south 

direction. During heavy storm conditions bottom currents are estimated to move in 

excess of 3 knots. The diver in previous years during dive operations has experienced 

heavy weather and was unable to maintain position due to current and surge conditions. 

The wave and current action appears to be doing an excellent job of dispersing the 

residual byproduct at this location.

Summary of Non-Compliance & Dally Grinder and Waste Conveyance System Inspection logs 

Grind size exceeding W' in any dimension ranged from 1% for (26-days); and 2-3% for (37-days); and was 

observed to be in 100% compliance for (14-days). The grinder line-up employed by the Bering Star 

during 2010; consisted ofthe following: 

Four-stage process, which includes a 1st grind of seafood waste going through an Autio with 5/8/1 hole 

plate attachment, and then the waste goes through a 2nd grind through an Autio with Yz/l hole plate 

attachment, then is subjected to a third stage where the waste goes down into a Vaughan Chopper with 

a 4-pronged disintegrator tool attachment. During the 4th and final stage of the grinding process; the 

seafood waste goes through a Franklin Miller and then is discharged. 

Salmon: 

Four-stage process, which includes a 1st grind of seafoo1d waste going through an Autio with Yz /I hole 

plate attachment, and then the waste goes through a 2nd grind through an Autio with 3/8/1 hole plate 

attachment, then is subjected to a third stage where the waste goes down into a Vaughan Chopper with 

a 3/8/1 hole-plate cutting attachment. During the 4th and final stage of the grinding process; the seafood 

waste goes through a Franklin Miller and then is discharged. 

We have recently purchased two new Autio grinders at a cost of $45,000.00, and we plan to have them 

on-line later this year. This would ultimately enable another stage of grinding to the existing system, and 

has the potential to improve our results moving forward. We have tried various configurations of our 

grinding equipment, and will continue to brainstorm and implement ideas to improve the grind-size 

resulting from our process. 

We maintain a rigorous preventative maintenance program on the grinding equipment aboard the 

Bering Star, and will continue to maintain this program. This maintenance includes inspecting the cutting 

blades and hole-plates several times throughout the processing day, and clearing debris from the 

equipment if identified. Blades and hole-plates are changed daily, and often times these are changed 

more than once daily. 

We will continue to strive for better compliance in 2011 with our current line-up, and we will continue 

to utilize Best Management Practices such as sharpening and/or replacing blades more frequently. Until 

better best available technology (BAT) becomes available, achieving 100% compliance with the Yz" in all 

dimension requirement will continue to be a challenge.

Summary of Daily Sea Surface and Shoreline Monitoring 

January 1st - December 31st 2010 

All daily sea surface and dally shoreline monitoring was conducted as required by the permit, and there 

are no non-compliance events to report. The Quality Assurance Manager was responsible for performing 

this monitoring and maintaining the daily logs, and she conducted the actual monitoring, or assigned 

another Q.A. personnel member to complete monitoring under her direction. The Vessel Manager 

reviewed all logs and signed upon completion of his review. 

In conducting the sea surface monitoring during 2010; the observer made no positive identification of 

residues or any other contamination exceeding the 100 foot mixing zone. On various occasions; species 

were identified around the area adjacent to the vessel, such as Stellar Sea Lions and Stellar's Eiders. 

These species were never observed to be feeding from the seafood discharge; were left undisturbed by 

the presence of the vessel, and appeared to be active and healthy. 

Shoreline monitoring was conducted by walking around a 300 foot radius of the vessel when docked, 

and no non-compliance occurrences were observed. It should be noted that for a good portion of 2010; 

the vessel was anchored at a distance too far from shore to reasonably conduct shoreline monitoring. 

All logs are kept aboard the vessel, and can be made available to ADEC upon request.
