School site too close to ammonia operations

摘要

Othello, Wash.—Local school district officials now know that students and anhydrous ammonia don't mix. The Othello School District is looking for a new elementary school site after being warned by emergency management and other agencies that the location they originally chose would be in the danger zone if an ammonia release occurred from any one of three nearby industrial plants that have some 200,000 pounds as part of their daily operations.
