On September 9, 2019, Region 1 entered into an Expedited Settlement Agreement (ESA) with Eastern Fisheries, Inc. of New Bedford, Massachusetts for its failure to complete a process hazard review of its system as required by Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act. This is the first ESA under a nationally approved compliance and enforcement pilot under the CAA 112(r) General Duty Clause, which is designed to ensure that small ammonia refrigeration facilities (<10,000 pounds) have completed such reviews. The ESA requires payment of a $5,000 penalty.
