Pennsylvania DEP Renews ConocoPhillips' Trainer Refinery Discharge Permit
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Department of Environmental Protection today issued a renewal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for ConocoPhillips' Trainer Refinery in Trainer Borough, Delaware County.
The draft permit was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on Dec. 31, 2011. The permit being renewed has been in effect since 1978.
Until the refinery recently ceased operations, it processed crude oil into petroleum-related products, such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas.
"The renewal of this permit continues to protect an important environmental asset, the Delaware River Estuary," DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. "Also, even though the facility is currently idle, this permit renewal is a necessary and critical step in putting the refinery in a position to be acquired by a new operator, which we hope will happen."
