MEMORANDUM

TO: FILE – SWIFT BEEF COMPANY, INC. – Hyrum Meat Packing Plant

THROUGH: Chad Gilgen, Minor Source Compliance Section Manager

FROM: Connor Kijowski, Environmental Scientist

DATE: December 21, 2023

SUBJECT: FULL COMPLIANCE EVALUATION, Minor, Cache County

INSPECTION DATE: November 30, 2023

SOURCE LOCATION: 410 North 200 West
Hyrum, UT 84319
DIRECTIONS: The business is known as JBS. Either call the source contact
upon arrival or go the HR/Recruitment building directly west of
the main building to contact someone as the site is secured.

SOURCE CONTACTS: Ruben Van Tassell, Environmental Manager
435.245.2259; [e-mail]

OPERATING STATUS: Operating normally at the time of inspection.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Swift Beef Company operates a beef processing plant and
associated facilities in Hyrum. Cattle are brought to the plant by
semi-trucks. Approximately 2,000-2,200 cattle are slaughtered
per day at the source location. Byproducts of the slaughtering
are sent ~ 1 mile away to the rendering plant for processing. The
waste generated from the processing of beef is used in various
forms. Waste bones, flesh, and blood are shipped to the
rendering plant to reduce the weight. Large rotary dryers are
used to dry the material. The water from the material is driven
off as steam and vented through a stack. The dried material is
used in various applications as inedible meat meal, bone meal,
and dried blood. Odors are controlled by maintaining a negative
pressure inside the rendering plant and passing all of the effluent
air through a scrubber system that reacts with the odoriferous
compounds, pulling them into an aqueous media. Other cattle
products, such as hides and edible sweet bread, are handled in
other areas at the source location. Swift Beef Company shares a
parent company and property with JBS Carriers. JBS Carriers
maintains a truck fleet at the source location.

Jay and Chad:
Is this something that I should close, do we have additional questions, or do we want to look at an enforcement action?
My only thought was asking if this was a preventable leak and what procedures have been taken - if any, to ensure this
does not happen again. Just my thoughts though as I am not very familiar with the systems.
Thanks,
Rik

Hello Guy,
Thanks for getting back to me. After reviewing what you provided, I have a few additional questions. I'm unfamiliar with
this system and need some clarification as follows:
What caused the leak? Was it operator error? Systems malfunction? Equipment breakdown? Informational items
1, 2, and 3 appear to discuss the events once the leak was found.
What actions were addressed with staff to avoid this happening in the future?
How much anhydrous ammonia does JBS store/use on-site?

Rik,
I was putting together a response to JBS when you sent this.
I was thinking about an enforcement action as well but was wondering how that would work since ammonia is neither a
Criteria Air Pollutant or HAP? It looks like the CAA has provisions under their Emergency Response Program (40 CFR 68
Subpart E) to cite companies for improperly storing anhydrous ammonia where the EPA has initiated enforcement actions
but I don't know if we have that kind of authority or would need to get the EPA involved.
Thanks,
Chad

Those are great questions. This is kinda a new thought process but I think it is possible to use the general requirements
of proper maintenance and good air pollution control practices. The EPA oil and gas lawsuits are simply based on proper
design and maintenance of controls.
Just my opinion though. I'm not really looking for enforcement of everything but I think it is proper to evaluate all of these
releases and I thought Jay agreed with that..

The Leak Was Caused By Loose Bolts On a The North Side Of The Check Valve, So It Was Equipment Break Down. The
Gaskets were changed To Make Sure we wouldn’t Have A Leak In This locaon In The Future.

The Acons that were Addressed was The Maintenance Supervisor and The Refrigeraon Mechanic Didn’t call anyone
to Inform them about the Leak and they did Nothing to Contain The Leak. The Maintenance Supervisor and The
Mechanic were Talked to By The Maintenance Management. It was Discussed that They need to call people on The
Emergency call List unl They get Some One. It Was Also Discussed with them that both Of Them were Qualified to
Valve out A Control Bank and Pump It down and They Need to Do the Pump Out, Instead Of Waing For Someone
Else to Come In And Do It. This was Also Discussed With The Refrigeraon Crew That were On Different Shis To Help
Avoid This Situaon From Happening Again.

The Hyrum JBS Plant Has between 80,000 lbs. and 100,000 lbs. Of Ammonia

Hello Joe,
We recently received a release notification report (attached) of anhydrous ammonia at a beef processing plant with an
Approval Order (attached) through the DAQ. Please see below for my correspondence with the source contact.
Since anhydrous ammonia is classified as a refrigerant (rather than a Criteria Air Pollutant, VOC, or HAP), it doesn't look
like we have anything under our delegated authority that we can use here so I thought I would pass it along to you to see
if there is anything more that EPA Enforcement would like to pursue? It looks like 40 CFR Part 68 requires facilities
storing/using more than 10,000 lbs of anhydrous ammonia to develop/maintain a Risk Management Program with the
EPA.
Please let me know your thoughts and if there is anything more I need to be doing on my end.
Thanks,
Chad

Hi Chad, thanks for the heads up. I’m forwarding to David Cobb for potential CAA 112r purposes, as well as Scott
Patefield (stationary source branch supervisor).

I just talked with the site contact listed in the NRC report, Guy Crockett, and was told the following:
1/3/24, 12:30 PM State of Utah Mail - RE: [Ext]- JBS Ammonia Leak Report
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=36f4379b4d&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:1778372830273429959&simpl=msg-f:1778372830273429…8/11

28 lbs total release of Anhydrous Ammonia (AA) between 8/16/23 and 8/17/23.
Operations technician was doing rounds evening of 8/16/23, went into freezer, smelled AA.
Took reading with a handheld meter, saw 6 ppm.
The 2 operations personnel onsite didn’t follow SOP, didn’t reach Guy until 3 am.
Leak was stopped leak shortly thereafter (‘valved it out’, ‘pumped it down’).
Corporate wanted NRC called if didn't know if close to 100 lbs AA reporting threshold or not, so put in report.
PSM guy did calculations, 28 pounds.
Incident review/response:
Loose bolts on check valve; defrost line. 6 psi suction pressure on ammonia inlet side.
Changed gasket, tightened bolts;
Real problem was the 2 guys onsite didn't do anything about it; didn't call anyone. Could have stopped it
quickly. Because went on all night long and didn't know, called NRC.
Supervisors have been informed about what should have happened.
Operations staff (10-15 people) have been informed and reminded of correct procedure.
PSM training is done every year.
Guy took all the statements from involved personnel and put them in his report, which will be part of (next)
PSM training.

I’m not too familiar with AA-applicable regulations, but could dig into it. David and Scott, is this a 112r issue to explore?
Appreciate any guidance you might have.

Thanks,

Joe

Chad, Wanted to give you a quick update on release notification you forwarded. I met with one of our CAA
112r/EPCRA/CERCLA release inspectors this morning and they will follow up with the facility to review the release
calculations and incident SOP’s. Depending on how that turns out, we may do an on-site inspection later in 2024 due to
the large quantity of ammonia onsite and also since we (EPA CAA 112r/EPCRA team) haven’t been out there since 2017.
Thanks again for the information and feel free contact me if you’d like to discuss.

Mr. Gilgen,

We are considering the purchase of an above ground storage tank for refueling vehicles that use On-Highway diesel fuel
here at the main Swift Beef Plant in Hyrum. Most likely it will be at least 500 gallons but possibly larger. What are the
main considerations that we should take in determining the size and use of a new tank in accordance with air permits and
emissions??

Hello Ruben,
A 500-gallon diesel tank may need to be added to your existing Approval Order. Alan Humpherys with our NSR permitting
group can provide additional information on that. I have cc:ed him on my response.
It looks like there are some additional regulations the tank may fall under with our Division of Environmental Response &
Remediation - Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tanks group. More information on that can be found here
- https://deq.utah.gov/environmental-response-and-remediation/aboveground-petroleum-storage-tanks-apst

Chad,

All of our exisng tanks are either less than 500 gal and/or resng on concrete so I do not believe that they will be
regulated APSTs, the queson about changing our exisng AO for a new tank sll remains. I have not received a
response from Mr. Humpherys.

Thank you for your me and help with this,

A 500-gallon diesel tank may need to be added to your existing Approval Order. Alan Humpherys with our NSR permitting
group can provide additional information on that. I have cc:ed him on my response.

It looks like there are some additional regulations the tank may fall under with our Division of Environmental Response &
Remediation - Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tanks group. More information on that can be found here
- https://deq.utah.gov/environmental-response-and-remediation/aboveground-petroleum-storage-tanks-apst

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

Mr. Gilgen,

We are considering the purchase of an above ground storage tank for refueling vehicles that use On-Highway diesel
fuel here at the main Swift Beef Plant in Hyrum. Most likely it will be at least 500 gallons but possibly larger. What are
the main considerations that we should take in determining the size and use of a new tank in accordance with air
permits and emissions??

Thank you,

Alan,

Our facility is considering purchasing an above ground fuel tank for “On Road” diesel. It would not be greater than
500 gallons. Am I correct in understanding that that size of tank will need to be added by modificaon to our permit?

Thank you,

Ruben,
Yes, if you want to add a storage tank to your facility, you will need to add it to your permit first. If you have questions on
how to submit the permit application, please let me know.
