Summary

On February 5, 2018, Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement which both initiated and concluded an administrative action against the CRF Frozen Foods Ltd. in Pasco, Washington 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, CRF Frozen Foods Ltd. failed to have robust operating procedures for their operators to avoid process upsets and adequate safety information on process equipment for their operating procedures in preventing an ammonia release that could impact the community surrounding its 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 its facility. The company agreed to pay a penalty of $5,040.
