The Bay Area Air Quality Management District voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to require refineries including the Chevron and PBF facilities in the East Bay to reduce the amount of air pollution they emit by installing expensive particulate scrubbers.
Environmental and community activists as well as many of the regulatory board’s own directors praised the move as one that will help cut emissions and curb health problems in the predominantly Black and brown neighborhoods closest to the plants.

NEW YORK Northern California regulators on Wednesday directed two of the state’s largest oil refineries to slash their fine particulate air pollution, which will require costly modifications at the plants.
The 19-3 vote by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District governing board means refineries in the area, including Chevron Corp’s Richmond plant and PBF Energy Inc’s Martinez refinery, will have to install wet gas scrubbers to reduce pollution spewed by their gasoline-making fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU) within five years.
