An excerpt from [the CoCo Times] piece by David DeBolt:
Air quality district inspectors found that Chevron used a pipe to circumvent a required monitoring device, a violation of a 2005 air quality district rule intended to reduce flaring and emissions at Bay Area refineries. . . .[skip] . . . The Chevron pipe existed before the rule was effective, but Chevron should have removed it or properly installed a monitoring device, said Wayne Kino, an enforcement manager for the air quality district.Contra Costa supervisor John Goia, who also chairs the regional air quality board, tells DeBolt: “How do we ever trust them about anything now? That’s where I am.”
