Calumet Montana is actively conducting a spill response training exercise with the United States EPA and Montana DEQ. As part of this drill, Calumet employees are deploying containment booms on the Missouri River down to the Rainbow Dam.
These training activities are a standard component of our emergency preparedness plan and are designed to ensure our team is well-prepared to respond to potential incidents. The exercises will primarily take place in the afternoon and may be visible to the public.
“Safety is our top priority at Calumet Montana Refining, and proactive training is essential for safeguarding our operations and the surrounding environment,” said Kollin Schade, Plant Manager. “By regularly practicing emergency response procedures, we enhance our ability to protect our employees, the environment, and the community.”
Residents may observe the deployment of containment booms on the Missouri River down to the Rainbow Dam. There is no need for public concern – this is a training exercise required by EPA and DEQ.
