The Facility Policy The owners, management, and employees of Gary Ag Service are committed to the prevention of any accidental releases of anhydrous ammonia. If an accidental release should occur, the facility is prepared to work with the local fire department or other authorities to mitigate any release and minimize the impact of the release to the public and the environment. 2. Facility Information The primary activitiy at the facility is the storage of anhydrous ammonia. Anhydrous ammonia is received, stored and distributed for direct application. Anhydrous ammonia is used for crop production nutrients. The maximum quantity of ammonia stored would be 150,000 pounds in our 30,000 gallon storage tank. The maximum quantity handled would be the unloading of a tank truck holding 40,000 pounds. 3. The worst-case relea se scenario and the alternative release scenario. Anhydrous Ammonia: The worst-case release scenario for anhydrous ammonia would be the release of the total contents of a 30,000 gallon storage tank when filled to 85 percent capacity (130,000 pounds) over a 10 minute time period. According to TFI Guidance Tables, the distance to endpoint (point of dispersion to 200 ppm) is 1.12 miles. The alternate release scenario for anhydrous ammonia based on the hazard review is a 2 minute release from a break in a 3 inch pip |
