Cheyenne Asbestos Facts

  • Although one of the most sparsely-populated states, Wyoming still had 549 deaths related to asbestos between 1999 and 2017.
  • Laramie County and Cheyenne, had the second-highest number of asbestos deaths in the state during that time, with 103.
  • Oil refining employed many people in Cheyenne but also put them at risk for asbestos exposure.

Frontier Refining Company

Many businesses in Cheyenne once used asbestos, but one of the most significant cases involved Frontier Refining Company. Previously called Winaico Oil, Frontier was an oil and gasoline company with several facilities across the nation, including Cheyenne.

Frontier has faced several lawsuits in connection with asbestos and hazardous materials.

In 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency investigated the company after complaints of storing hazardous chemicals and materials.

Prior to the investigation, workers at Frontier were exposed to asbestos on a daily basis as almost every material at the job site contained asbestos.

Throughout most of the 1900s, Frontier used asbestos in almost every product and part in its facilities. Asbestos was used for insulation to protect against heat and fire and as a material that resisted chemical reactions.

Asbestos Exposure in Residents

Workers at places like Frontier were put at risk of asbestos exposure, but residents in the area may also encounter asbestos in older buildings and abandoned sites.

In 2006, Cheyenne residents grew concerned after learning they were living across from an old construction lot that was associated with asbestos in the past.

According to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the residents had reason to believe that the lot, located close to Cheyenne’s Loop Road, still contained asbestos throughout.

Authorities from Laramie County gained limited access to parts of the lot, where they gathered samples. At least 10 to 15 percent of the collected samples contained chrysotile asbestos.

By 2008 the state Department of Environmental Quality had still refused to get involved without the proper approval. Meanwhile, several area residents have been at risk for asbestos exposure.
