The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has granted BP the air permit it needs to expand its Whiting, Indiana refinery. Environmental groups aren’t done fighting.
The EPA’s decision came as no surprise to Ann Alexander, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council in Chicago.
The council is part of a coalition of groups challenging BP’s permit.
ALEXANDER: It’s really a routine development that reflects the position that U.S. E.P.A. made clear a while back. We believe that position is clearly wrong.
Opponents say BP’s plan to curb air pollution doesn’t go far enough.
BP’s $4 billion project is expected to be completed in three years and will allow the refinery to process larger amounts of Canadian crude oil.
