Clark Oil neighbors push for stronger Y2K safety at Blue Island refinery

Residents and workers at Clark Oil's Blue Island Refinery urge stricter security amid Y2K terror fears. Refiner manager Frank LaPointe balked at revealing casualty estimates, while officials note heightened patrols and guard presence, plus industry and safety expert cautions about hydrogen fluoride risks and the need for robust contingency planning.

Clark handling of refinery blast praised by state officials

State officials led by the attorney general say Clark Oil improved in managing the Christmas Eve explosion at its Blue Island refinery compared with past accidents. They cited open dialogue and a scientific root-cause approach while noting a platformer unit was removed for inspection and the incident involved a water leak that froze a pipeline. One employee was treated and released. The probe, involving IEPA OSHA and Clark, will determine fault and whether Clark should have alerted state agencies sooner.
