Summary
El Paso County is stepping up to fight for cleaner air around the Marathon Refinery, now officially granted a seat at the state’s contested case hearing — a major win for local control. Fueled by community health concerns, county leaders teamed up with UTEP to spend $200,000 on a critical study to gather hard data on emissions’ impact. The goal? Not shutdown, but relocation — moving the refinery away from residential zones for safer living. With a hearing looming in six months, the county’s voice could shape the outcome. Residents in the area are urged to contact commissioners — their testimony and support are vital to driving real change. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
