On September 29, 2017, Region 10 filed a consent agreement and final order resolving violations of the Clean Water Act by Larry's Auto & Truck Parts, Inc. Respondent, which operates an auto salvage yard in Burlington, Washington, discharged pollutants to waters of the U.S. and was found to be operating in violation of the Washington State NPDES Industrial Stormwater General Permit. Violations include failure to document monthly inspections, failure to sample discharges, and failure to implement best management practices. The company is now operating in compliance and doing so will reduce the amount of stormwater discharges into Gages Slough. Gages Slough flows to the Puget Sound through the Skagit River. The Skagit River and Puget Sound are anadromous fish passage waters. The company agreed to pay a $10,000 penalty.
