Energy Northwest faces urgent environmental crisis at Columbia River
Energy Northwest reported two significant noncompliance issues related to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) during a recent government meeting. The organization notified the Florida State Emergency Communications (FSEC) of an incident that occurred on September 10, 2024, involving a release into the Columbia River.

Additionally, a new emergent incident was reported early this morning, shortly after 7:30 AM, prompting immediate action. Ecology staff are currently on-site at the Columbia generating station to gather information and assess the situation. The involvement of the U.S. Coast Guard and the statewide environmental reports tracking system (ERTS) underscores the seriousness of the incidents and the coordinated response efforts underway.
