Suncor Energy Inc. has settled air pollution violations at its
Commerce City, Colo., refinery.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said
the settlement "resolves a host of emissions exceedances as well as
violations of operating and monitoring requirements that occurred
since July 2017," and an "operational upset" in December.
Suncor will pay about $1.4 million in penalties. The total
settlement value of $9 million includes environmental projects and
refinery improvements.
Suncor said the settlement outlines several projects to improve
the refinery's operations and environmental performance, including
additional hydrogen cyanide emissions monitoring and development of
a communications process for the community and the CDPHE.
Suncor said "the refinery's recent environmental performance has
not lived up to our expectations. We can and we will do
better."
