Cause of Problem: Weather
On Monday September 27, 2012 at approximately 08:30 hrs, we made notification. that we will experience a controlled shutdown due to the proximity of Hurricane Isaac. Any emissions associated with this controlled shutdown were within the allowable permit limits.
Discharge Preventable - No Information Given
Notes/Remedial Actions
There is no list of pollutants released/calculations table (there should be even when it is within permit limits). Without this there is no proof that the release was within permit limits. From the EPA Facility Report: Storm water collected within diked areas. Some electrical motors got wet; motors were operationally checked prior to startup. Facility is undergoing startup. There was a power outage due to Hurricane Isaac.
