What is your position on the city’s approval of the Chevron Energy and Hydrogen Renewal Project, the environmental impact report and the community benefits agreement?
We achieved a substantial agreement between Chevron and the City of Richmond. • We brought 1,200 jobs to the city. • The community benefits agreement component of the permit will bring $61.6 million to the city. • The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), the regional regulatory body for air emissions, testified at city hearings that the Chevron project improves air quality because air pollutants and particulate matter are reduced. • We set 10 conditions in the permit that are more stringent than current California state regulatory law. For example, two conditions regulate environmental performance of equipment and will reduce nitrogen oxides by -104.8 tons per year I know there have been a lot of questions raised by the Chevron Project. I would like, therefore, to clear up some of this confusion. First, you need to know that Chevron was seeking a permit from the City of Richmond to upgrade a single unit within the refinery. That is all that was before the City Council. Th
