Home » EPA Fines Pepsi for Failure to Promptly Report Anhydrous Ammonia Release
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 settled an administrative complaint with Pepsi-Cola General Bottlers (Munster, IN) for alleged violation of federal laws on the reporting of a hazardous chemical release.
The company will pay a civil penalty of $23,435 and pay for environmental projects valued at $145,150. EPA's September 1999 complaint alleged that, on Nov. 16, 1997, the Pepsi facility in Munster failed to promptly report the release of about 3,150 lbs of anhydrous ammonia from a pressurized refrigeration system.
