Summary

On August 30, 2017, Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement which both initiated and concluded an administrative action against the E.C. Phillips and Son, Inc. in Ketchikan, Alaska for violations of CAA 112(r) Risk Management Program requirements. Respondent failed to comply with several risk management program requirements that apply to its use of anhydrous ammonia. Most importantly, E.C. Phillips and Son, Inc. failed to have robust operating procedures for their operators to avoid process upsets and maintenance procedures for piping and safety relief valves in the use of anhydrous ammonia in preventing an ammonia release that could impact the community surrounding the facility. A plan provides important information to emergency responders and planners that include accurate chemical quantities, emergency contacts and demonstrate operation and maintenance of the ammonia refrigeration process at the facility. The company agreed to pay a penalty of $5,760.
