The complaint stated, "east side packing line (there are three total) has an ammonia smell. Operator is distributing masks but is taking no other corrective actions." At 9:10am today, I arrived at the facility and met with the CEO, Patrick Archibeque. We discussed the reason of the visit. I was told by Patrick there was no evacuation or exposure. I inspected the area where the release was coming from. Ammonia vapor released out of the aqueous ammonia system for the hydrocooler located outside on the east side of the facility due to a defective shaft seal for the pump. arrived onsite and the ammonia system was still running, and ammonia odor is still present. Jeremy Mostin with ICR/refrigeration contractor was onsite to correct the issue. ICR has ordered a shaft seal, and will arrive around 1pm. i asked the facility to shut off the system, and resume after the issue is corrected. Jeremy told me this an aqua ammonia not anhydrous ammonia and it is not hazardous. I explained it is extremely hazardous substance, and the system need to be shut off, and resume after correcting the issue. ICR shut off the system, and the shaft seal will be replaced today. the facility is considering replacing this part of the system with a glycol system. At 12:15pm I stopped by the facility again to check if the shaft seal was replaced. I met with the Chief operator officer, Peter V. Craig and was told that ICR is out for lunch, but they will come back and replace the shaft seal by 2pm today. I was told by Peter that this Denk System was installed last year, and they have had problems with the shaft seal for the pump, and therefore they will replace this system by a glycol system. I discussed with Peter that they need to update their RMP and submit a copy of the update to me. I told peter I may come back today or tomorrow to inspect the system after the shaft seal replacement. I asked Peter if there were any complaints from the employees or any exposure or if anyone required medical attention. Peter told me that one employee complained of having watery eyes, but returned to work without any medical attention. I left the site at 12:50pm. A notice to abate was emailed to Patrick and Cc'd Peter at 2:57pm. The notice to abate included the following corrective actions: Report all the accidental ammonia releases to SJC EHD and CAL OES immediately Submit all the risk management plan (RMP) documents for adding/installing the Denk system/ammonia system for the hydrocooler within 3o days. I completed the narratives at 3:17pm and updated Garrett Backus with the incident status. Discussed the incident update with Muni at 3:20pm.
