COMMERCE CITY, Colo. —- From air pollution to releasing chemicals in waterways, Suncor Energy has long been a source of controversy in Commerce City. Now, the company is looking to increase the amount of pollutants its oil refinery releases into the air.
Federal law requires operators like Suncor to file to renew an air operating permit every five years. "Most volatile or organic compound increases are not due to physical or operational changes, but instead are due to changes in emission estimates," the spokeswoman said."I really encourage the department to revise the draft air quality permit to reduce Suncor's annual emissions permits, not increase them," one woman said during the hearing.
