🚨 Protecting Springfield from Harmful Chemical Risks 🚨

Recent action by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) highlights serious safety concerns at a Springfield facility using anhydrous ammonia—a hazardous chemical that can pose real dangers to workers and nearby neighborhoods if not properly managed.

The EPA found failures in maintaining and operating systems safely, violating the Clean Air Act. As a result, the company agreed to pay a $138,506 penalty and address these risks.

This is a reminder of why environmental oversight matters. Preventing chemical accidents isn’t optional—it’s essential for protecting public health, especially in communities like ours.

At ReGreen Springfield, we believe everyone deserves clean air and a safe environment. We’ll continue advocating for transparency, accountability, and stronger protections for our neighborhoods.

🌱 Stay informed. Stay engaged. Protect Springfield.
