RAYONG: Restaurant and hotel entrepreneurs at Mae Ramphueng beach and Koh Samet yesterday filed a lawsuit against Star Petroleum Refining Public Co Ltd (SPRC) to demand 38.8 million baht in compensation for recent oil spills that have harmed the area.
Despite efforts to clean up the oil spill from Star Petroleum Refining Public Co's (SPRC) pipeline, the concentration of heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons on Mae Ramphueng beach still exceed levels considered safe, the Rayong Pollution Control Centre said on Tuesday.
