KETCHIKAN - Alaska's cruise industry says it can't meet certain wastewater discharge standards set by a new state permit.

John Binkley, president of the Alaska Cruise Association, says cruise lines are being singled out. And he says that the standards are unattainable.
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation last month issued the wastewater discharge permit in response to a 2006 ballot initiative.
Gershon Cohen, a co-sponsor of the Citizen's Cruise Ship Initiative, says the industry can do better. But he says it hasn't done anything to improve its wastewater treatment in the two years since voters approved the initiative.
