REFINERY SMELL
DOES THE SMELL FROM THE HESS REFINERY AFFECT THE ENTIRE IS. OR JUST CERTAIN AREAS.
The only smell I have ever noticed from the refinery is an occasional sulfur odor that occurs at a certain point in processing each batch of crude oil. If you are driving on the 4-lane highway, there is a corner you go around and suddenly can smell the sulfur odor. You are past it usually within 15 seconds of driving. This is typical to notice about twice a week and only lasts a few hours. The odor does not linger and it isn't heinous. I live just a few miles west of the refinery (down wind) and have never smelled anything at all from the refinery at my home.
I live considerably north of the refinery and the only time I've ever smelled anything is when I'm actually on Hess Road. Odor is not an issue.
Thanks for the information. rhallen
