Leaking like a sieve

The equipment's leaking at Equistar Chemicals at Chocolate Bayou, severely impacting the chocolatey goodness of the waterfront ambience.

Equistar told the state regulators that to "isolate" the leaks to "enable repair," beaucoup emissions took place.

Eech.

We're talking 2,000 lbs. o' benzene, 2,300 lbs. o' 1,3 Butadiene, etc., etc.
