Violation Description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a Clean Air Act (CAA) settlement with Mountain Meadows Lamb Corporation, doing business as Superior Farms, Inc., which resolved alleged violations of toxic chemical-related regulations at its North Denver meat processing facility. An EPA inspection revealed several CAA violations related to the company's management of anhydrous ammonia, a chemical used as a refrigerant that can be hazardous to human health if not managed properly. Superior Farms certified to EPA that it addressed these findings and will pay $119,200 in civil penalties as part of the settlement. The company will also spend at least $250,000 on a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP), which will provide significant equipment upgrades, beyond what is required by codes and standards, to prevent an ammonia release from its facility.
