| Shell Deer Park maintenance to impact local traffic
Maintenance ‘turnarounds’ at Shell Deer Park between mid-January and early March will add to traffic congestion on the State Highway 225 westbound feeder road where it intersects with Tenneco Road and Tidal Road. The number of contract workers at Shell will peak at approximately 3,000 in late January and will decline as the maintenance projects are completed.
Heaviest traffic will occur during staggered shift changes from 5 - 6 a.m. and 7 - 8 a.m., and 5 - 6 p.m. and 7 - 8 p.m. daily, with reduced staffing on Sundays. Shell has arranged for sheriff’s deputies to assist with traffic control.
Because the turnarounds involve shutting down and restarting process units, there is the possibility of higher than normal flaring the third week of January and third week of February. We have put procedures in place to minimize flaring at all times.
We are sensitive to the impact our activities can have on the community and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
