On June 9, 2021, Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement which both initiated and concluded an administrative action against Apple House Warehouse & Storage, Inc. (Apple House) in Pateros, 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, Apple House failed to properly document that their operators are trained in safely operating the refrigeration equipment in preventing an ammonia release that could impact the community surrounding its facility. In addition, Apple House failed to document that their employee involved in maintaining equipment are trained in the hazards and procedures to prevent the equipment failure causing an ammonia release. 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 $8,800.
