Orica has reported a liquid ammonia spill at its Kooragang Island facility. According to the company, a leak developed at the plant and 100 kg of liquid ammonia had been lost but was contained on-site.
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA), NSW Fire and Rescue, NSW Police and HAZMAT have attended the scene.
