<p>The acknowledgment, in a regulatory filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, follows repeated complaints on Twitter of an &#8220;unbearable&#8221; chemical smell over parts of Houston. However, it was not immediately clear what caused the smell.</p>
<p>ExxonMobil said in the filings that a floating roof covering a tank at the company&#8217;s Baytown oil refinery sank in heavy rains, dipping below the surface of oil or other material stored there and causing unusually high emissions, especially of volatile organic compounds, a category of regulated chemicals.</p>
<p>The Baytown refinery is the second-largest in the country. The company said in its filing that it would need to empty the tank to make repairs, though it wasn&#8217;t clear when the weather would permit that.</p>

Jessica said is became very scary once Hurricane Harvey hit their town. Harvey made landfall shortly after 11 p.m. Friday, just north of Port Aransas as a Category 4 storm and is being reported as the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Wilma in 2005. Forecasts call for as much as 30 inches of rain to fall by next Wednesday.</p></div></li></ul><div class="caption"><button class="caption-expand">Show Caption</button><div class="slideshow-credit"></div><div class="slide-count"><span class="current"></span> of <span class="total"></span></div><p class="slideshow-caption"></p><a href="#" class="icon-enlarge"><span>Expand</span></a></div></div>
<p>An ExxonMobil spokeswoman said the company would &#8220;conduct an assessment to determine the impact of the storm once it is safe to do so.&#8221; It would not say what was in the tank.</p>
<p>At the company&#8217;s Beaumont petrochemical refinery, Harvey damaged a sulfur thermal oxidizer, a piece of equipment that captures and burns sulfur dioxide. As a result, the plant released 1,312.84 pounds of sulfur dioxide, well in excess of the amounts allowed by the company&#8217;s permits.</p>
<p>&#8220;The unit was stabilized. No impact to the community has been reported,&#8221; the company said in its filing. &#8220;Actions were taken to minimize emissions and to restore the refinery to normal operations.&#8221;</p>
<p>A variety of other chemicals was emitted during the shutdown of the plants. Amy Graham, a spokeswoman for the Environmental Protection Agency, said that ExxonMobil had filed a report at the National Response Center operated by the U.S. Coast Guard saying the Baytown refinery would release about 15 pounds of benzene into the air.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most of the unauthorized emissions come from the process of shutting down, and then starting up, the various units of the plant, when pollution control devices can&#8217;t be operated properly and there&#8217;s lots of flaring,&#8221; said Luke Metzger, director of the group Environment Texas.</p><div id="div-gpt-ad-Cube_Article" class="dfp-ad dfp-Cube_Article" data-ad-unit="Cube_Article">

					</script>
				</div>
<p>Flaring is generally done when releasing chemicals without burning them is more hazardous for people and the environment. ExxonMobil said it had flared hazardous materials at its Baytown refinery Sunday and Monday.</p>
<p>Most of the other facilities belonging to major companies also filed notices with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Chevron Phillips, for example, said that it expected its Cedar Bayou chemical plant to exceed permitted limits for several hazardous pollutants, such as 1,3-butadiene, benzene and ethylene, during shutdown procedures.</p>

<p>Environment Texas and the Sierra Club sued ExxonMobil in 2010 alleging that the company&#8217;s Baytown complex had emitted 8 million pounds of hazardous chemicals over a five-year period. A federal judge imposed a $20 million penalty on the company.</p>
<p>&#8220;Any release of carcinogens (like benzene, 1,3-butadiene) adds to the increased cancer risk for those living near these plants,&#8221; Metzger said in an email. He said that large releases of nitrogen oxides or sulfur dioxide &#8220;and other respiratory irritants adds to the respiratory problems people in the area suffer from at high rates.&#8221;</p>
<p>Separately, the Houston Chronicle reported that there was a chemical leak from a pipeline that ruptured in La Porte, Texas on Monday. Local authorities urged residents to stay inside. The warning applied to people living as far away as Shoreacres and Baytown. The warning was later lifted.</p>
