The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has settled with two Rhode Island-based companies, Bottling Group, LLC (Pepsi Beverages Company), and CB Manufacturing Company, Inc, for violating the Clean Air Act by failing to properly handle anhydrous ammonia at their facilities in Cranston and North Kingstown, R.I. The companies will pay penalties totaling $219,474 and take steps to ensure compliance with minimum safety requirements.
