Copper River Seafoods, Inc. Kasilof River Dock - Harbour in Kasilof, Alaska

Copper River Seafoods, Inc. Kasilof River Dock is a harbour facility located at 27110 Taylor Street in Kasilof, Alaska, within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The facility is operational and supports the seafood processing and fishing industries, a key economic sector in the region. Its location on the Kasilof River provides access to the productive waters of Cook Inlet. The facility operates under NAICS codes 424460 (Fish and Seafood Merchant Wholesalers) and 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations). As a harbour in Alaska, it is subject to US federal regulations including the Clean Water Act and the Vessel General Permit (VGP) under the EPA's NPDES program. These regulations govern stormwater management, ballast water discharge, and waste handling to protect the sensitive coastal environment. The Kasilof River Dock plays a vital role in the local seafood supply chain, facilitating the offloading and transshipment of fish from fishing vessels. Its operations contribute to the economic vitality of Kasilof and the broader Kenai Peninsula, while requiring careful environmental management to minimize impacts on the river and adjacent habitats.

The facility is situated on the Kasilof River, which flows into Cook Inlet, an area known for its rich marine ecosystems and salmon runs. The harbour's operations involve handling seafood products, which can generate organic waste and require proper wastewater management. Stormwater runoff from the dock and associated facilities must be managed to prevent contamination of the river. The region's cold climate and seasonal fishing activity influence operational practices and environmental risks.
