Add new safety requirements for fuel and chemical storage tank facilities
In Plain English
A 2019 fire and explosion at a Crockett tank terminal forced nearby residents to shelter in place for hours. The incident destroyed 2 tanks holding 8.4 million gallons each and closed Interstate 80. If approved, Richmond's tank terminals face the same enhanced safety standards that Contra Costa County recently adopted.
