shellfish hatchery operator. In 2006, Chugach Regional Resource Commission (CRRC) took over
operation of the facility and entered into a five year lease with the City of Seward. CRRC now
requests permission to enter into a second five year lease agreement from 2011 -2016.

inspection issues and CRRC has removed all hazardous materials previously stored at the facility.

maintenance and improvements in energy efficiency.
Shellfish hatcheries are an economic growth industry in Alaska and the City of Seward benefits from
the economic opportunities this facility brings to the community.

Regional Resources Commission for operation of the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery.
