The Air District is releasing the annual updates to the Flare Minimization Plans, or FMPs, 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.

The Air District is inviting Bay Area residents to provide input on two new draft regulations. Regulation 11, Rule 18 would reduce health risk to local residents from toxic air contaminants emitted by facilities in the Bay Area, and Regulation 12, Rule 16 sets limits on facility-wide petroleum refining emissions.

The Air District's Board of Directors has voted to set the stage for Regulation 12, Rule 16 to cap greenhouse gas emissions from the region’s five refineries, creating a model for the state and nation to follow.

The Air District's Board of Directors has adopted two new regulations to further tighten air pollution controls on petroleum operations at Bay Area refineries. Regulation 9, Rule 14 reduces sulfur dioxide emissions from the largest Bay Area source, coke calcining. Regulation 12, Rule 15 is a first-of-its-kind requirement that will better enable the Air District to track refinery emissions as changes are made at the facilities.

The Air District is extending the air quality advisory for smoke through Saturday, October 12, for the entire region.

Due to heavy smoke blowing into the Bay Area from the extensive Camp Fire in Butte County, the Air District is issuing a Winter Spare the Air Alert through Monday, November 12.

The Air District is extending an air quality advisory for potential smoke in parts of Marin, Western Napa and Sonoma Counties through Wednesday, September 12.

The Air District is sending representatives to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP26, in Glasgow, Scotland, from Sunday, October 31 – Friday, November 12. 

The Air District has selected grantees for Cycle 2 of the James Cary Smith Community Grant Program, awarding $3.5 million to 12 community-based and nonprofit organizations across the region.  

The Air District is offering grants of up to $2,500 to public K-12 school teachers as well as student and parent leaders to increase understanding of air quality and climate issues in school communities. 

The Air District has reached a pivotal settlement with Chevron that will significantly enhance air monitoring data transparency, providing more information about air pollutants around the Richmond refinery. The agreement requires Chevron to take new data access and community engagement actions beyond those required by regulation or permit.
