Intalco Aluminum LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcoa Corporation, the operator of the closed aluminium smelter in Ferndale, has agreed to a $5.25 million settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This settlement addresses violations of the Clean Air Act identified during a 2019 EPA inspection.
Operations at the site began in 1966, and in 1984, the smelter shipped a record 286,000 tonnes of aluminium, a strong, durable, and lightweight metal essential for manufacturing aircraft and consumer goods such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and cooking utensils.
According to Mark Personius, the director of Whatcom County Planning and Development, Intalco has submitted an application for a permit to demolish its former smelter site at Intalco Works. Personius informed the County Council on Tuesday that the demolition permit will require a review under the State Environmental Policy Act, which could take two to three years.
