On October 15, the 22-member Board of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District defied the wishes of Chevron, Shell, Tesoro, Valero, Phillips 66, and the Western States Petroleum Association by unanimously passing a resolution that blatantly prioritizes community health and safety and climate protection over corporate profits. The resolution is a victory for the Bay Chapter and a coalition of sympathetic community groups who, since 2012, have lobbied the Air District to issue stricter refinery regulations.
This important resolution directs Air District staff to craft “rules” to govern the levels, contents, and tracking of refinery emissions. You can read more about what these rules would do and why they are important here.
What You Can Do
Join us at the next Air District Board meeting to defend this important action to prioritize people over corporate profits.
