Environmentalists to target ExxonMobil Texas refinery

摘要

New York-Environmentalists planned to file a lawsuit late December 13 against ExxonMobil for emissions released at the company's 576,000 b/d Baytown, Texas, refinery, a lawyer who will represent the plaintiffs said December 13. "It probably won't be till the end of the day" by the time the lawsuit is filed, Houston- based lawyer Philip Hilder of Hilder & Associ- ates said. He did not name the environmen- talists who will become the plaintiffs in the suit. The suit against ExxonMobil will allege emission violations from "a number of pollu- tants," Hilder said.
