Summary

Region 10 settled with Olympic Fruit Company, LLC, (Olympic Fruit) a cold fruit storage facility for violation of the Clean Air Act (CAA) § 112(r) risk management program (RMP) requirements. The company agreed to pay a payment of a penalty of $33,964, and spend at least $40,659 implementing a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) in three parts. The first part of the SEP requires Olympic Fruit to install ammonia detection sensors that will auto-dial the operators for the early detection of a release of ammonia and allow for a more immediate response and effective response to a release. The second part of the SEP requires Olympic Fruit to improve the integrity of the facility’s refrigeration system and significantly reduce the risk of a release of ammonia into the environment and to the surrounding population. The third part of the SEP requires Olympic Fruit to purchase a hand held ammonia detector for the East Valley Fire Department that will reduce the risks of exposure to ammonia for emergency responders who are responding to an ammonia release. The implementation of these SEPs will allow a more immediate and effective response in the event of an accidental/inadvertent release of ammonia and reduce the risk of a release of ammonia into the environment.
