CAER Community Awareness Notification – Shell

Incident Details: At approximately 12:50 this afternoon, Jan. 20, Shell Manufacturing Centre in Corunna experienced a unit upset at site. Near site neighbours may see increased flaring and be aware of an associated increased noise level due to this unit upset. It is important to note the flare system is a safety device at the refinery and is a normal and vital part of unit shutdown and start-up activities. All safety precautions and standard regulatory protocols are being followed as we work to return the unit to service. The Spills Action Centre (SAC) and Community Awareness Emergency Response (CAER) will be notified as needed and these organizations will be updated as needed throughout the event. Should action be required by the community, instructions will be issued by your municipality.
