PORT ARTHUR — TOTAL employees have returned to normal operations after a second bomb threat within the week. A handwritten message about a bomb threat regarding the Total Port Arthur Refinery was discovered Friday at about 8:30 a.m. in a portable restroom on a construction site in the refinery, according to Jennifer Walsh, senior communications specialist with the refinery. “As a precaution, we followed our procedures that activated on-site response and limited access to the refinery. We have returned to our normal operations and will continue to be vigilant in our security efforts. We are cooperating with investigation efforts,” Walsh said. Total Petrochemicals Refinery and Marketing workers quickly returned to work after an early Wednesday evacuation for authorities to investigate a bomb threat. Sheriff’s department deputies from the joint terrorism task force were dispatched the Total Petrochemicals Refinery in Port Arthur at about 6 a.m. Wednesday in response to the threat that day.
