Title:  

Wood River Refinery West Fence Line and Residential Area Environmental Investigations, Roxana, Illinois: Illinois

 
 Volume/Number:  2013 March 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Underground petroleum product contamination along the Wood River Refinerys (WRR) North Property west fence line and at the Roxana Public Works Yard appears to be from historic refinery operations and benzene pipeline releases, respectively. Shells soil vapor extraction (SVE) system is continuing to remove underground contaminant vapors and, in 2012, was expanded into the Roxana Public Works Yard. Shell and their consultant, URS, have also replaced the temporary internal combustion engine (ICE) units, used to destroy the collected vapors, with a thermal oxidation unit. They have also installed additional vapor monitoring points, groundwater monitoring wells and collected soil borings in an effort to further characterize underground contamination in both areas.
