Inspector contacted the Valero Mereax facility representative Mr. Justin Stubbe in response to a community complaint of flaring on 9/3/14. According to Mr. Stubbe, they have no records of any upsets, malfunctions, or unplanned discharges. However, project and turnaround work that started in late July continues. Valero has been preparing its flare headers for blinding and tie-in work associated with the upcoming Flare Gas Recovery project. The flares' appearance (flame size, color, etc.) has varied more than normal due to these activities. Inspector spoke with complainant on 9/5/14 regarding results from investigation.
