RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN

Risk Management Plan (RMP)

EPA Clean Air Act 112(r) requires the implementation of this plan to prevent accidental releases of regulated substances and to reduce the severity of those releases that do occur.

Ammonia Threshold Quantities: A process is regulated if a listed substance is present in amounts greater than it’s threshold quantity.

	Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) = 10,000 lbs
	Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH) = 20,000 lbs (20% NH3 or greater)
