What we want to doWe are setting up 24/7 observation stations to monitor gas refinery flares. This is a pilot program for a DIY observation station that is cheap, easy to construct, reasonably reliable, and produces usable data. Please consider donating to fund development of our flare monitoring prototypes and tests by selecting the Donate button on the top of this page!
Why we are doing thisDo you drive by a refinery and wonder why that big flare is burning? What would you think if you were startled by what sounds like a jet landing in your yard and then you looked out the window to see a huge flame billowing black smoke? You would probably have health concerns and wonder how well the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) was doing their job. Our objective is not to shut down refineries. We generally find the products they produce useful if not necessary. We want to make sure the refineries are working in the best interest of the health of the citizens and that DEQ is enforcing the regulations. The self reporting that the refineries do and the DEQ monitoring process appears to be lacking due to numerous causes. This project will empower the average citizen to have a say that will be hard to ignore. Scenarios

The following can probably be lumped together.
Questions and next stepsWe need to raise the money to fund the project. You can help by going to the ioby page and making a contribution.
