They opposed regulations requiring them to publish the chemicals on site. Some darn dogooders thought neighbors had a right to know. The company thought they might get not-in-my-backyard complaints, durn hippies saying it might blow up in a flood or something. And their justification for not publishing was that terrorists, ISIS, Sierra Club etc might then steal their dangerous chemicals. So now they have to stick to their cover story.
