Summary

On July 14, 2022, Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement which both initiated and concluded an administrative action against Washington Fruit & Produce Company in Moxee, 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, Washington Fruit & Produce Company failed to properly document the initial training of their operators in safely operating the refrigeration equipment 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 $3,280.
