Neighbors, on the evening of Aug. 20, we will be conducting critical maintenance at the refinery – an essential investment to ensure our facility continues to operate safely and reliably. This work has been carefully planned to minimize any potential impact to our surrounding community.
In an effort to increase transparency, we want you to know you may notice visible flaring during this time. Flaring is part of safe operations, and no off-site impacts are anticipated. We have notified the Air District of this work and encourage our community to learn how to sign-up for relevant notifications here.
This maintenance is vital for us to run the refinery safely and to continue to meet Northern California’s fuel demands.
