Accident Classified As:
Heavy rainfall was experienced in the Norco area causing the Refinery storm water impoundment basin (SWIB) to rapidly fill and subsequently exceed its maximum capacity level. As a result, the LPDES outfall 006 had to be opened and the discharge was allowed to bypass the refinery waste water treatment system
After normal operating procedures were restored, and capacity remained in the SWIB all bypass operations were stopped.
