Marathon fights hearing order for El Paso oil refinery air permit
Editor's note: This story was updated with details about El Paso County's July 17 answer to Marathon Petroleum's motion for a rehearing. Marathon Petroleum is fighting an order for a trial-like hearing on the company’s 2½-year-old application to renew and amend a major air permit for its El Paso oil refinery. It filed a motion July 6 for a rehearing before the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s three commissioners on their June order, arguing it should be reversed because it violates Texas law. The 97-year-old refinery needs the permit renewed to remain in operation. It dominates the landscape in East-Central El Paso and is a major source of air pollution. Meanwhile, El Paso County officials Friday, July 17, filed an answer to Marathon's request, stating that Marathon "failed to meet its deadline to file a response to hearing requests and now seeks to untimely file that response by improperly renaming it as a Motion for Rehearing and filing it after the Interim Order was signed referring this matter for consideration by SOAH (State Office of Administrative Hearings)." The commissioners June 3 voted to grant El Paso County’s request for a trial-like, contested case hearing before a Texas administrative law judge.
