The Respondent, at its stationary source identified in Paragraph 5 of this CAFO, has one RMProgram covered process which stores or otherwise uses ammonia in an amount exceeding its applicable threshold of 10,000 pounds. Based on an RMProgram compliance monitoring investigation initiated on June 13, 2012, the EPA alleges that the Respondent violated the codified rules governing the CAA Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions, because Respondent did not adequately implement provisions of 40 CFR Part 68 when it:
- Failed to provide refresher training at least every three years to each employee involved in operating a process to assure the employee understands and adheres to the current operating procedures of the process as required by 40 CFR § 68.71(b);
- Failed to correct deficiencies in ammonia alarms in a safe and timely matter as required by 40 CFR § 68.73(e).
Respondent agrees to pay a civil penalty of FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS ($5,600), to be paid within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this CAFO.
