Protest Against Refinery Contamination of South Platte River
|
Commerce City, Colorado - Environmentalists and community residents protest the contamination of Sand Creek and the South Platte River with cancer-causing benzene from the Suncor Energy refinery near Denver. Suncor processes tar sands it receives by pipeline from Canada, as well as locally-produced crude oil. Benzene levels in the water are as much as 100 times the federal water quality standard. Deanna Meyer of Deep Green Resistance takes a water sample from Sand Creek.
