Part 10: Conclusion & Appendix A Database
The Federal EPA and its body of regulations is not likely to go away anytime soon. While it is hypothetically possible that the EPA’s reach could be limited through defunding and/or deregulation, either scenario does not seem likely. Therefore, owners and operators of ammonia refrigeration facilities must be aware of EPA’s historical enforcement and make informed decisions regarding their compliance programs.
Below is a view only link to the primary content of the database assembled and used as the foundation for this paper. Notably, facility names have not been included for the sake of privacy. Instead, EPA Docket Numbers can be used for reference.
