The provincial government has issued a new Class 1 five year air quality approval to the Irving Oil refinery. The company’s current air quality operating approval expires at the end of the month. The renewal follows a public consultation exercise, which included a 120-day public review period between March 20 and Aug. 31 of last year.
A six week maintenance project at the refinery is underway with the gasoline treating and heavy oil conversion units getting most of the attention.
