Summary

On March 28, 2014, Region 1 issued a Notice of Violation and Administrative Order to Borden & Remington Corp. (Borden), a chemical manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution facility located in Fall River, Massachusetts, alleging violations of Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (Act). Borden failed to comply with the risk management planning regulations for its use, storage, and handling of chlorine and ammonia and failed to comply with the General Duty Clause of the Act for its use, storage, and handling of other chemicals that are extremely hazardous substances. These chemicals can present a threat to the community if not properly managed. In particular, the storage of chlorine and ammonia in rail cars without adequate risk management planning posed a threat. The company reviewed a draft of the order before its issuance and has been very cooperative in coming into compliance.
