Limetree Bay refinery violated Clean Air Act: EPA
5/4/2021
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) told the owners of Limetree Bay refinery that they violated the Clean Air Act by failing to operate five sulfur dioxide air monitors near the plant in St. Croix of the U.S. Virgin Islands, the agency said.
The EPA said the failure violated requirements set by Limetree Bay’s permit and other regulations.
Agency staffers arrived on the island to conduct an investigation of the recently-restarted refinery last week after a series of incidents caused a strong odor on the island and prompted residents to feel ill.
