THE four days of flaring at Mossmorran has seen MSP Annabelle Ewing contact the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
Ms Ewing MSP, Member of the Scottish Parliament for the Cowdenbeath constituency, has written to Terry A’Hearn, Chief Executive of SEPA, regarding the recent flaring incident at ExxonMobil’s Fife Ethylene Plant.
Speaking on Monday Ms Ewing said: “I have received a number of communications from constituents regarding the flaring at the ExxonMobil plant which began early on Friday evening and I have no doubt that their hotline will have been ringing off the hook.
“I have asked Mr A’Hearn whether SEPA will be conducting an investigation into this incident and to clarify whether SEPA have been actively monitoring the actual flaring itself.
“My constituents are understandably concerned to know exactly what has been going on and what impact it might be having on their local environment.”
