The District approved the first ‘Flare Minimization Plan’ (FMP) Annual Updates from the five Bay Area refineries on April 17, 2009. This determination was made after careful evaluation of each FMP Annual Update and consideration of the public comments received during a 30-day public review and comment period.
These FMP Updates will address refinery flaring activity during the 13-month time period from June 1, 2008 until June 30, 2009. All subsequent FMP Annual Updates will be due October 1 each year and cover a 12-month time period (July – June).
