Respondent owned and operated two food warehousing facilities. One is used for food manufacturing and refrigerated warehouse and storage. The other is used for refrigerated storage. On January 26, 20 17, EPA conducted a compliance inspection at the food manufacturing facility, as well as a records review of the risk management plan (submitted to EPA initially on October 14, 2009, with a resubmission on May 29, 2014 ), to determine whether the facility was in compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 68, the Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions. An RMP compliance inspection was not conducted at the other facility. However, on April 4, 2017, EPA issued a request for information to Respondent concerning the facility, in order to ascertain information regarding the refrigeration system at the facility to determine whether the Facility was in compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 68.
