I would take it as a governmental comment. Sadly according the DHS they were never made aware this facility existed as the owners or whomever else may have had a responsibility never did what they were supposed to do, report. Apparently the state of Texas was aware of the plant but not of the storage of ammonia nitrate. I have looked but cannot find what the local county or city ordinances might be. I also haven't been able to find what the rules are near the Villages and whether there might be similar facilities nearby.
