The Borger Plant is located on 290 acres (118 hectares) near the community of Borger, Texas, 47 miles (75 km) northeast of Amarillo. The plant employs 60 people.

Environmental Stewardship
The Borger Plant has implemented a project to utilize effluent wastewater from the City of Borger’s wastewater treatment plant. Agrium financed the purchase and installation of a pipeline from the City’s wastewater treatment plant to use the wastewater for Agrium's cooling water system. This is reducing the amount of water discharged from the City’s treatment plant and also reduces the Agrium’s cooling water costs.

The Borger Plant uses modern pollution control methods. Plant upgrades have enabled Borger
to conform to Agrium’s high standards and to government regulations.

Because a reliable supply is critical to customers, the plant underwent one of the company’s most extensive upgrades to increase its capacity and ensure continuous operation of the facility. The renovation improved gas use efficiency, reducing the amount of natural gas used to make anhydrous ammonia, thus conserving a valuable natural resource. In addition, the upgrade enabled the operation to reduce its waste water production by one-third through recycling. A second upgrade was also completed in 1995 to increase the capacity of two process compressors and
remove other bottlenecks or reliable production.

The plant is equipped with scrubbers, desorbers, strippers and a flare system to suppress or eliminate emissions of atmospheric pollutants.

The Borger Plant is a “zero” discharge facility and other projects are being investigated to recycle more of the plant's industrial process water.

The groundwater and soil throughout the plant and the surrounding ranch land is regularly monitored.
