Create zoning rules for biodiesel fuel production facilities
<UNKNOWN>
Resolution 24-09 N.S.
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no specific rules governing where companies can build biodiesel plants or how they must operate. The new law sets location restrictions and safety requirements for facilities that convert cooking oil and other materials into biodiesel fuel. If approved, companies need city permits before building these industrial facilities.
