On September 11, 2019, EPA issued an administrative order on consent (AOC) to Maritime International, Inc. and Bridge Terminal, Inc. (Respondents). Respondents operate a cold storage warehouse and distribution facility that uses anhydrous ammonia in its refrigeration system. In July 2018, approximately 3,200 pounds of ammonia were released from a cracked pump in the facility's machinery room. An EPA inspection the following week revealed several dangerous conditions relating to the ammonia refrigeration system, which constitute violations of the General Duty Clause. Although many of the deficiencies have been addressed, under the AOC the company will address deficiencies that remain.
