Ucluelet seafood company fined $25K for 2 years of repeated waste violations

Ucluelet Harbour Seafood was fined $25,000 for violating wastewater regulations by discharging pollutants into the ocean for two years, according to the BC Ministry of Environment decision.
The company's wastewater contained toxic ammonia exceeding limits by 4,600 percent, stated Kelly Mills, compliance section head.
The violations posed a moderate threat to the environment, affecting habitats for species like killer whales and turtles, although UHS claimed little to no threat to marine life, as noted by Mills.
Pacific Seafood Group, UHS's parent company, faces additional fines for similar violations in the U.S. and has been cited for repeated infractions, highlighting ongoing environmental compliance issues.
