Summary

On January 19, 2018, Region 10 entered into a Compliance Order on Consent with Evans Fruit Company, Inc., which owns and operates refrigerated storage warehouses that process, package and store apples, including Tieton-Main and Lust Cold Storage. The refrigeration systems at these warehouses use anhydrous ammonia, a potentially deadly chemical. The Compliance Order on Consent requires Evans Fruit to take steps and submit documentation to demonstrate that it has come into compliance with the Risk Management Program requirements of Section 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act and 40 C.F.R. Part 68. The specific requirements include ensure the warehouses have fans adequate to ventilate the warehouses in the event of an ammonia release and to address equipment deficiencies identified during an audit, including replacement of corroded ammonia piping.
