Environment - "BP wastewater permit: 'We already have the technology'"
Gitte Laasby of the Gary Post-Tribune reports today:
BP representatives say they haven't found a way to reduce the Whiting refinery's discharges of ammonia and suspended solids. But potential contractors, who say they can solve the problem with technology used at other refineries, say BP shut them out.See also this Sept. 4, 2007 ILB entry headed "Study shows how BP could likely could expand its refinery without the added pollution."
This pending water discharge permit for the Whiting refinery caused the initial outcry from environmentalists and others. The refinery's proposed air permit and permits for the BP Whiting Refinery's new asphalt plant are also under review.
