Air quality monitoring around Suncor Energy’s oil refinery in Commerce City must be stronger than what the company has proposed to better address the community’s concerns about the poll…
“We heard from the public they were interested in these changes and we agreed with them,” said Michael Ogletree, Air Pollution Control Division director. “The public was accurate in identifying that Suncor was doing the minimum they could.”
Loa Esquilin Garcia, a Suncor spokeswoman, said in an emailed statement that the company is reviewing the state’s plan and she would not be able to speak on it. Colorado law requires companies to monitor for benzene, hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide, but it also gives the Air Pollution Control Division authority to require Suncor to monitor for more pollutants. The division will do just that, Ogletree said.
The state also wants Suncor to monitor emissions 24 hours per day in all directions. The company’s plan called for the installation of monitoring systems along the fenceline that would sample air in one direction for five minutes before rotating to collect samples in another direction. But that would only monitor 50% of the facility 50% of the time, Olgetree said.
