Building on decades of reducing health risk and championing breathing equity for its most vulnerable communities, the Air District is reporting that industries are taking early actions to reduce their health impacts on local residents as part of the implementation of the nation’s most stringent toxic air pollution regulation. 

The Air District announced today it has reached two separate agreements with Chevron and Martinez Refining Company resulting in an end to the litigation against the agency over its groundbreaking Regulation 6, Rule 5, major emissions reductions from both refineries, unprecedented penalties and other payments of up to $138 million, and a Richmond-area Community Air Quality Fund, among other benefits. The Air District estimates that the emission reductions achieved by the rule will result in tens of millions of dollars per year in health benefits by reducing early deaths and other health impacts of exposure to particulate matter.

The Air District is releasing the annual updates to the refinery Flare Minimization Plans (FMP), for public review and comment. The five Bay Area refineries prepare these plans subject to the requirements of Regulation 12, Rule 12: Flares at Refineries.
