ExxonMobil's Baton Rouge Refinery failed to inspect hundreds of corroded pipes and report several incidents in the last five years, according to an uncensored EPA inspection report recently obtained by a local environmental group. The July inspection was spurred by a significant leak of a highly carcinogenic chemical in June.
The Louisiana Bucket Brigade, a New Orleans-based environmental advocacy group, obtained the uncensored report in February from the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA. The uncensored report, which can be read here in its entirety, was then provided to NOLA.com|The Times-Picayune.
