DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Air Quality Management District Board of Directors Special Meeting 
 at 9:45 AM. \n\n----\n\nPutting a halt to unchecked refinery pollution is 
 not exactly a radical proposition.  But the Bay Area Air Quality Management 
 District, whose job it is to protect our health and climate, is proposing 
 refinery emissions regulations that not only fail to cap pollutants and 
 greenhouse gases but would actually allow increases in refinery pollution. 
 Although the Air District claims it is "reducing GHG emissions and 
 protecting the climate," it intends to exempt GHGs from local 
 regulation.\n\nWe are demanding enforceable, facility-wide numeric caps on 
 toxic particulates and climate-wrecking greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions 
 need to be capped at current levels and brought down over time.\n\nWithout 
 these caps in place, refineries will be able to bring in dirtier and more 
 dangerous grades of extreme crude—like tar sands— with absolutely 
 impunity.\n\nThe Stationary Source Committee was to have met on Monday, 
 October 19th to discuss for the very first time the Community-Worker 
 proposal for refinery-wide caps that is summarized above.  Then Chief 
 Executive Officer Jack Broadbent cancelled that meeting.\n\nWe have 
 accordingly cancelled our call for a rally and public testimony on the 
 19th, but we are not withdrawing our demand for refinery emission 
 regulations with real teeth.\n\n\n--- \n\nRegulation 12, Rule 
 15—Petroleum Refining Emissions Tracking, and draft Regulation 12, Rule 
 16—Petroleum Refining Emissions Limits and Risk Thresholds isn't putting 
 restrictions on other sources of pollution, including fracking. \n
