## Summary

On September 18, 2019, Region 1 entered into an Expedited Settlement Agreement (ESA) with New Boston Food Market of Boston, Massachusetts, resolving a violation of Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.  This ESA is part of 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 process hazard reviews of their systems.  The ESA requires payment of a $5,000 penalty and certification that the company hired an expert to complete a process hazard review, met with emergency responders, filed any missing Tier II forms as required in the ESA, and provided EPA its plans to improve safety at the facility as a result of conducting the review.
