This EPA CAFO has me wondering who upset the U.S. EPA. There are only two (2) violations; one is the most cited RMP violation in the past seven years and is quite minor; the other was one of the newest RMP requirements, and those two violations netted a $93,000 citation.
Respondent is the owner and operator of a facility that operates a refrigeration process that uses Anhydrous Ammonia in quataties over 10,000 pounds. On or about May 10-11, 2022, EPA conducted an inspection of Respondent’s Facility to determine compliance with Section 112(r) of the CAA and 40 C.F.R. Part 68. Information gathered during the EPA inspection revealed that Respondent uses anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant during their ice cream manufacturing processes and, therefore, is engaged in a process at its facility.
