What we know right now…
Conditions were very difficult last week with sub-zero temperatures confounding the important work around investigation, assessment and repair at Newcastle Refinery. Conducting simultaneous prevention measures to prevent future damage from freezing kept the workforce very busy. This was a challenging week, but we are very happy to report WRC had no environmental exceedances nor any personal work-related injuries. Safely conducting all of these tasks is our primary objective. Important progress was made though we still have work to do to better predict when the facility will be fully operational. Community members will notice an increased cadence this week with arrivals of equipment and materials. We ask for your patience as Main Street traffic may be temporarily diverted due to delivery of large equipment and cranes. We will minimize this inconvenience as much as possible while working with Newcastle PD and Weston County Sheriff on traffic control.
Thank you again for your understanding and concern.
