The refinery was the site of a fatal explosion in 2005, which killed 15,
injured hundreds, and resulted in unprecedented fines for the U.K.-based oil
giant. Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency said it was launching an
investigation into a benzene release that began April 6 and lasted until May to
determine whether the refinery violated the Clean Air Act.
