San Antonio Refinery, which operates near Mission San Juan, said the spill happened Friday, when the area was receiving significant rainfall. The refinery's stormwater treatment plant experienced a power outage during the storm, which resulted in the release of an unknown amount of contaminated water, the refinery said in a written statement. The refinery processes crude oil into a number of petroleum products, and the water that was released had been used in the refining process.
