On March 22, 2017, Region 1 entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) with Respondent for alleged violations of the CAA and EPCRA, including failure to file a Risk Management Plan, at its facility located in Springfield, Massachusetts. Respondent operates a food distribution and refrigeration warehouse facility that uses anhydrous ammonia in its refrigeration system. Under the super CAFO, which will simultaneously commence and conclude this administrative penalty action, Respondent will pay a cash penalty of $184,717. The CAFO resolves claims that Respondent violated Section 112(r) of the CAA in its handling of anhydrous ammonia at its facility and violated Section 312 of EPCRA for failing to report lead contained in lead-acid batteries on its Tier 2 Inventory Forms. Under the CAFO, Respondent also certifies that its nine other facilities nationwide are following industry standards for ammonia inventory calculations, have filed RMPs for those facilities that have over 10,000 pounds of ammonia in covered processes, and that it is reviewing these facilities to ensure that bare minimum safety measures have been met at these facilities. According to EJ Screen, the Springfield facility is located in an area of potential Environmental Justice (EJ) interest. NEI ?
