Peter Bell was a decorated Moretime sought for refineries to comply BY BRENTISRAELSEN THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Utah which balked a few months ago at afederal plan to slash sulfur content in gasoline has joined a broad Western coalition in endorsing it. The proposal, bythe U.S. Envi ronmental Protection Agency, would requirerefineries to reduce sulfurin gasoline by about 90per. cent as partof a nationwideeffort to improveairquality. This week, the EPA will receive a letter from the Western Governors Association (WGA) support ing the plan, so long as it gives smallrefineries, such as those in the Rocky Mountainregion, more time to comply. UtahGov. Mike Leavitt joined 42 other Western governors in signingtheletterafter the association reached consensus among refineryofficials, environmentalists andothers. “We're ve consensus].

But it also also could put some of Utah’s refineries out of business, predicted Walt McGuire, a Chevronrefinery spokesman who ented local refineries’ in s onthesulfur issue. Under the proposal, Utah’srefineries would have had to be in compliance by 2004, an onerous deadline given the $20 million to $50millionin capital costs needed to retrofit eachrefinery, McGuire said.
