So when you look at a mature environment program, what does that look like compared to one that's solely focused on some of the things you mentioned, like compliance obligations?
5:25
Yes.
5:26
A mature environmental program really goes above and beyond compliance and uses your environmental data to proactively manage operational risk and prevent issues before they occur.
5:37
Um, I'm gonna use one example from the refinery, uh, fence line monitoring.
5:41
You know, regulations in the United States require refineries to measure benzene concentration using passive tubes at their fence line.
5:49
Um, while these passive monitors are effective for compliance purposes, they provide limited data resol- you know, time resolution and, um, don't i- identify those elevated emissions as they occur.
6:01
So many leading operators have implemented real-time benzene monitoring near their passive sampling locations to provide immediate visibility into those changing conditions.
6:53
So whenever you see environmental and operational teams today, you know, where do you see the biggest dic- disconnect between those different teams? And then as the follow-up to that, you know, when you do have that disconnect, how can those teams work better together?

That additional level of monitoring allows for facilities to investigate those abnormal emissions and potentially take corrective action before those elevated concentrations do become a compliance concern.
