International Risk Assessment of a Petroleum Refinery

A risk assessment was prepared for a petroleum refinery and chemical storage terminal located outside of the United States.  Extensive research on local bye-laws and environmental protection acts was conducted to build the regulatory framework under which to prepare the risk assessment.  Regulations from USEPA, Florida, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico were also considered.  The risk assessment was completed to support the facility’s long-term vision for remediation of historical releases of crude oil and petroleum products beneath the terminal.
