Oh, what's 10000x over legal limits among friends? And the state regulators sure sound like friends ...
The Suncor refinery in Commerce City in June recorded PFAS “forever chemicals” in its discharge water into Sand Creek at more than 10,000 times the EPA health advisory level...
There are municipal water agencies downstream of Suncor that must clean up South Platte River water to EPA and state standards...
Suncor, Oeth [CDPHE directpr] said, also “voluntarily installed an active granular activated carbon treatment technology at the facility that is currently running to remove PFAS and other contaminants from groundwater.”
If the treatment system is working, Miller [environmental justice advocate] asked, what explains the soaring PFAS levels in water leaving the property?
Suncor officials have not returned multiple messages seeking comment about numerous incidents involving benzene and PFAS contamination.
And Bad. This refinery is just a nightmare: continued pollution they appear unable to control. Should be shut down permanently.
Discharges of toxic “forever chemical” PFAS into Sand Creek and the South Platte River by Suncor’s Commerce City refinery spiked to thousands of times the EPA’s revised drinking water guidelines for three months starting in November, according to filings with state regulators...
The potentially dangerous chemical discharge also apparently came without warning to the community, or to downstream water users such as the city of Thornton that draw South Platte water for their drinking supplies.
