In an effort to meet federal environmental mandates and recover from a less than flattering pollution report, the Shell Deer Park Refinery is planning several upgrades in the plant’s production unit estimated to exceed $250 million.
Soon after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced earlier in the year that Houston-area plants caused some of the worst ground-level ozone pollution in the country, Harris County hit Shell DP with a lawsuit seeking fines for pollution violations.
