CAMPAIGN: Urge Governor Newsom To Request an Investigation of the Torrance Refining Company & Wilmington’s Valero Refinery

On February 18, 2020 — the five-year anniversary of the Torrance refinery explosion — TRAA announced a campaign urging Governor Gavin Newsom to request the Attorney General to investigate — based on newly available irrefutable evidence — the lack of basis for two legal processes that allow the Torrance Refining Company and Wilmington’s Valero Refinery to use massive amounts of hydrogen fluoride that imperil the surrounding communities. An investigation is the essential precursor to a lawsuit by the State Attorney General to ban the use of HF in the refineries.
