JUST WONDERING

Del Mar's EPA settlement is in the public record. The NH₃ exposure is real. Here's what a CO₂ swap looks like at your scale — sized to the IQF + storage mix you run.

Drop NH₃ below the PSM threshold. Better yet, drop it to zero. Same throughput, same docks, no RAGAGEP audits, no EPA RMP filings, no $131K settlements.

Be brutal with my numbers

Rough sizing from public facility footprint. Real numbers come from your engine room walk-through and 12 months of bills. The math holds even if my load estimate is off by 30%. · Decision-maker on file: P.J. Mecozzi · President (documented EPA settlement 2021 ($131K, inadequate NH₃ mitigation)).
