Chevron Air Monitoring Program Languishes

Six air monitoring stations that Chevron agreed to install at its Richmond refinery in 2010 were not put in place, which may have slowed warnings about the danger of pollutants released during the refinery’s disastrous August fire, city officials and air quality regulators say.

The company pledged to install the equipment as part of a May 2010 agreement with the city of Richmond that settled a dispute over how much the refinery owed in utility taxes.
