On September 30, 2014, EPA Region 1 issued an administrative compliance order to Hancock Foods, Inc. for violating the Clean Air ActÂs Risk Management Planning (RMP) regulations at its blueberry processing plant in Hancock, ME. The facility uses anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant for process chilling and warehouse cooling. After providing the company with a draft Notice of Violation and Administrative Order (NOV and AO), the company corrected many of the deficiencies found during EPAÂs October 2012 inspection. Accordingly, the final AO requires completion of outstanding compliance activities, such as reinsulating piping. The AO reserves EPAÂs right to seek penalties for these violations. The facility itself is not in an area warranting further environmental justice review, but a worst-case release of ammonia from the plant could affect areas that merit environmental justice review
