Suncor working to expel cancer-causing benzene from under Denver-area refinery
Suncor Energy has expanded the hose system blowing air bubbles into Sand Creek attempting to expel cancer-causing benzene spreading from under the company’s oil refinery north of Denver. Its crews also have been packing a trench with bentonite clay from Wyoming, focused on meeting a deadline today for the completion of a 1,000-foot-long, 30-foot-deep underground wall designed to hold back contaminated groundwater. But benzene levels in Sand Creek and the South Platte River remain significantly elevated — as much as 100 times higher than the U.S. health standard. Three months after state regulators ordered an intensified cleanup, the fouling of northeastern Colorado’s main waterway continues — illustrating the difficulty of dealing with one of the Rocky Mountain region’s long-running cases of industrial pollution.

Fortunately, no midweek games allowed the staff to get back to the basics. Since then, it’s been like a completely different offensive attack. “Just having a really good approach and being sold out to the approach, and playing with a boatload of attitude and confidence and expecting to hit,” said Deggs, whose Cajuns (20-12, 7-2) currently lead the Sun Belt West heading into a road series at South Alabama this weekend. Since those two “hard” practices, UL is batting .304 with 82 runs, 26 doubles and 16 homers over an 11-game stretch. … [Read more...] about Cutting down on strikeouts big key to UL’s recent hitting surge
