A Commerce City neighborhood located across from a gasoline storage facility is fighting back against the company's plans to expand.'That’s the first thing you look at. Every morning, every night, and it’s not a good feeling,' said Mary Morris, whose home backs up to the tanks. The tanks belong to Magellan Pipeline Company , and more of them could be on the way.
'We see this as an environmental justice issue and as an environmental racism issue,' said Solis. The group monitored air quality around the tanks and said it found carcinogens at levels higher than federal limits. 'Overall higher levels of benzene were found near the Magellan Pipeline Company and specifically DuPont Elementary,' said Solis. Denver7 reached out to Colorado's Air Pollution Control Division.
