padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“This site meets all of our criteria for building a safe, clean, and sustainable fish farm,” Nordic Aquafarms CEO and president Erik Heim said in a Saturday press release, “and we have been welcomed by local authorities who are excited about the many benefits this project can bring to the area.”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Harbor district executive director Larry Oetker said in the release that he hoped to get the project under way as soon as possible.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“We have been looking for an anchor project that will be a catalyst for attracting and developing an aquaculture cluster,” he said, citing properties on the Samoa peninsula previously permitted by the district for aquaculture.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Nordic is considering raising salmon or steelhead at the proposed facility, pending negotiations with local permitting authorities.

Nordic Aquafarms is an innovator within their own industry. Their project will create opportunity to improve local job quality and career potential, add to the overall vibrancy of the community and enhance quality of life for our residents. We are very excited for the potential of this project.”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit;

padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Contacted Saturday by the Times-Standard, Jennifer Kalt, director of the Arcata-based environmental nonprofit Humboldt Baykeeper, said she had met with project proponents.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“They seem to have considered a lot of the major issues,” she said. “They aren’t going to be using nonnative fish, growth hormones or genetically modified fish.”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Kalt said she was “cautiously optimistic” that this is the type of project that can be developed in the bay and be respectful of coastal resources, contrasting Nordic Aquafarms’ plans with a previous proposal by the US Mine Corporation in 2015 to build an ore processing plant at the Samoa pulp mill site — a proposal that the company ultimately withdrew after encountering strong community concerns at a packed harbor district meeting.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“We’ll be looking very closely at what they’re proposing to discharge,” Kalt said of Nordic’s proposal. “They’ve said it’s a closed system, but it would discharge up to 7 million gallons [of water] a day” into the ocean, she said.</p><h4 style="margin-right: 0px;
