If you drive past it on Old Highway 10, just west of Belfield, (that's it running across the top of the photo) you'll see a new scoria oil well pad. Don't be fooled into thinking that's the refinery site--the refinery site is waaaay bigger than that. The Health Department site inspectors report there is already utility work going on in the northeast corner of the refinery site.
