Delawares Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has issued a notice of violation to Allen Harim Foods in Harbeson, Sussex County, for exceeding permitted nitrogen levels in wastewater discharged into a recharge site. The plants permit allows a daily average of 30 mg/L and a maximum of 45 mg/L, but samples showed levels between 56 and over 82 mg/L from late January to mid-February. The company also failed to notify, redirect for extra treatment, and submit required monitoring reports. Excess nitrogen can harm local waterways, and the state has ordered daily tests, missing data submission, weekly updates, and a new plan to prevent future violations, with potential civil fines of up to $40,000 per day.
