(Green River) Several Environmental Organizations are taking aim at a proposed oil refinery near Green River.They are challenging a permit approved last month by the Utah Division of Air Quality, a decision they contend will harm the region’s air if the plant begins refining oil shale and tar sands from the Colorado River Basin’s Green River Formation.

"People travel from all over the world to enjoy the stunning vistas at Arches and Canyonlands national parks as well as Dead Horse Point," said David Garbett of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. "It makes no sense to risk compromising the remarkable views this region offers with visibility-reducing pollution from this refinery."

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development gave a $12.7 million post-performance credit to the joint venture funded by London-based finance firm Bridgehouse Capital Ltd. and Woodrock & Co., a Houston-based investment bank. The plant is planned for a site 4 miles west of Green River in Emery County.

The challenge first faces a review by an administrative law judge on behalf of the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. If either side rejects the agency’s final ruling, the case would go to an appeals court.
