Receive presentation on new Community Emission Reduction Plan for Richmond
In Plain English
Richmond was selected for a state-mandated air pollution reduction program because the area faces severe impacts from refineries, ports, freeways, and industrial operations. The Community Emission Reduction Plan includes new rules and enforcement strategies developed with residents to reduce air pollution in the most affected neighborhoods. A community steering committee will present their draft plan and explain how residents can participate in oversight.
