Ammonium nitrate isn't considered a hazardous chemical. As a farmer, I have to have a pesticide license to buy chemicals but anyone can buy fertilizer. Of course, in most places where you could get 3000 lbs of fertilizer they would know whether or not someone was a farmer and had a legitimate use for it.
Add some diesel and you've got the winning hand: ANFO.

That is very true. Being in the HVA/C business, having need for many types of chemicals (biocides, algaecides, corrosion control and inhibitors) people in my industry are required to have EPA licenses which require written tests in purchasing, storage, transportation and use of chemicals. We also have to maintain usage logs to explain consumption, all of which have to be presented for review and inspection to Federal EPA and state / local agencies.
