Citizen complaint received. / Caller, Ovidio Menendez, reported to Valero Refinery via phone that he was seeing the biggest cloud he'd ever seen over the plant, and believed it was due to a sulfur emission that was not in control. He used to be an analyst for the plant, but now suffers from respiratory problems, and was very disturbed. He requested that the event be investigated and that he be contacted via phone for a follow-up. No operational problems were found, according to Mr. McLaurin (shifperintendent), but that Menendez may have seen Shell Norco's brief flaring event.
