Published Date: 7/16/2025
Notice
Summary
The EPA reviewed a petition from local environmental groups asking to block a pollution permit for Valero’s Houston refinery. They agreed with some concerns but denied others, meaning Valero can keep most of its permit with some changes. This affects the refinery’s operations in Harris County and shows the EPA is watching closely to keep the air cleaner.
