Elmer Willis of Williston work- ed out a large portion of scallop processing's prob- lems in the late 60s with his invention of the mechanical shucker. But maintaining steady sup- plies of raw scallops, mechanizing and marketing are ongoing hassles. Still others loom ahead for Lambert and other seafood processors. Complying with what seems an ever-increasing list of government regulations has become a major stumper. Heavy on some processors' minds are regulations which place strict limits on how much waste processors dump in the nation's waters. These regulations, growing out of the Water Pollu- tion Control Act Amendments of 1972, are aimed at eliminating discharge of harmful wastes and pollutants into the nation's waters by 1985. They will affect all seafood processors who use rivers, sounds, creeks or the ocean as dumping grounds for their wastes. Under regulations established by the 1972 Amendments, seafood processors (and all other industries or individuals) who discharge pollutants into the nation's navigable waters must get a per- mit. The permit tells its holder how much waste he or she can put into waters per day or week and how concentrated in harmful pollutants it may be. It may also spell out a schedule of monitoring, or measuring, discharged wastes which the permit- holder must carry out. In North Carolina, the Department of Natural and Economic Resources' Division of Environmental Management issues Shells are only part of the waste at a scallop plant. Humans eat only about half of a scallop's flesh. The baffler is how to get rid of the other half without pol- luting water supplies. Realizing that old methods can't be changed overnight, authors of the regulations allowed time for adjustment. Guidelines f
