Matters Previously Reported—Phillips 66
In May 2012, the Illinois Attorney General's
office filed and notified ConocoPhillips of a complaint with
respect to operations at the Phillips 66 WRB
Wood River Refinery alleging violations of the Illinois
groundwater standards and a third-party's
hazardous waste permit.
The complaint seeks remediation of area
groundwater; compliance with the hazardous waste
permit; enhanced pipeline and tank integrity measures;
additional spill reporting; and yet-to-be specified
amounts for fines and penalties.
