The Anhydrous Ammonia tanks are equipped with over fill protection devices and excess flow valves. Anhydrous Ammonia is a seasonal product and is not stored more than four to five months each year usually from January to June. The storage tank has a capacity of 40 Tons and is highly unlikely it could all be released in an accident. The worse case Scenario would be if the wind is from the north and a release occurred,which would move vapor toward the town. Prevailing spring winds are usually from the south which would not have the offsite impact. |
