EPA Region 1 reached a $124,181 settlement with BozzutoÂs, Inc. to resolve violations of Clean Air Act Section 112(r)'s chemical accident prevention requirements at the company's North Haven, CT cold storage warehouse. The warehouse's refrigeration system uses ammonia as a refrigerant. Specifically, BozzutoÂs failed to (a) adequately address hazards in its Program 3 Hazard Analysis; (b) comply with Program 3 operating procedures requirements; (c) comply with Program 3 training requirements; (d) comply with Program 3 mechanical integrity requirements, including failing to fix breached vapor barriers on ammonia piping, failure to address corrosion, and failure to test and calibrate ammonia detectors; (e) comply with Program 3 safety information requirements; (f) comply with Program 3 compliance audit requirements; and (g) have an adequate emergency response program, in violation of Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act and implementing regulations. Following the EPA inspection, which identified these violations, BozzutoÂs took action to bring its North Haven cold storage warehouse into compliance. Among other things, BozuttoÂs spent $52,661 to install an ammonia detection system with more detection points than required as well as a computerized automatic shut-down control system. BozzutoÂs is a wholesale grocery distribution company that operates cold storage facilities in North Haven, CT; Cheshire, CT and Allentown, PA.
