Pollution Accountability At Limetree Bay

March 1, 2021

“We want clean air, clean water, a healthy community and a healthy ecosystem, and the opportunity for a strong resilient future based on sustainability.”

The St. Croix Environmental Association is fighting not only to protect our environment but our community as well. Recently concerns have been raised about the air pollution by the Limetree Bay refinery, which results in contamination of cisterns on St. Croix. Please join together to take a more proactive role in supporting the St. Croix Environmental Association in its mission to keep the island pollution-free. There is a resource page on the website that lists quick facts, details about the appeal, news articles (local and national), and other pertinent information related to Limetree Bay, refinery operations, pollution, and other resources. This is our home. Click here for more details

St. Croix Environmental Association (SEA), the Center for Biological Diversity, and Sierra Club, in collaboration with Natural Resources Defense Council, Vermont Law School’s Environmental Justice Clinic, and The Neville Law Firm LLC, filed a legal appeal on February 3 against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) challenging the high pollution levels allowed for the Limetree Bay refinery operations and requesting better considerations for environmental justice on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. We want EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board to review Limetree Bay’s Plantwide Applicability Limit (PAL) permit.
