On November 15 and 16, a steam system leak repair caused the SRU 1 sulfur pit emissions to be routed to the atmosphere for approximately 16 hours and 34 minutes. On November 21, SRU 1 sulfur pit emissions were routed to the atmosphere for approximately 7 hours due to the plant shutting down unexpectedly. ln several instances, the SRU 1 pit vent inadvertently opened due to a plugged pressure indicator line, but in no event was it the result of positive pressure in the pit. Because the pit did not experience positive pressure during these events, Chevron believes this instrumentation issue did not result in any associated emissions from the sulfur pit. Each event, which typically lasted a few minutes was remedied by unplugging the clogged pressure indicator line. These events occurred on the following dates: July 8, July 13, August 1 1, September 13, September 24, November 18, and December 4 for a total of t hours 33 minutes. ln several instances, the SRU 2 pit vent inadvertently opened due to a plugged pressure indicator line, but in no event was it the result of positive pressure in the pit. Because the pit did not experience positive pressure during these events, Chevron believes this instrumentation issue did not result in any associated emissions from the sulfur pit. Each event, which typically lasted a few minutes was remedied by unplugging the clogged pressure indicator line. These events occurred on the following dates: July 23, August 10, August 26, September 10, October 16, October 22, November 10, November 17, November 21, and December 29 for a total of 54 minutes.
