Document Description
The Chevron Richmond Refinery (the Refinery) is located at 841 Chevron Way in the City of Richmond. This Master Environmental Impact Report (EIR) analyzes the potential environmental impacts that could result from Chevron's proposed Energy and Hydrogen Renewal Project (Renewal Project) and describes other projects that Chevron may undertake at the Refinery in the future. The four main component projects considered in this EIR are the Hydrogen Plant Replacement, Power Plant Replacement, Catalytic Reformer Replacement, and Hydrogen Purity Improvements. The EIR also includes and analyzes a number of other, smaller projects, consisting of the replacement of ten existing tanks, installation of eight new tanks, addition of a new central control room and a new maintenance facility. The EIR also includes a post construction cumulative impacts analysis, as ordered by the court, of an already completed project to build two new LPG spheres at the refinery. Chevron proposes the Renewal Project to increase energy efficiency, to improve equipment and process reliability, and to reduce air emissions. The renewal project would improve the refinery's ability to process crude oil and other feed stocks from around the world and to direct more of current gasoline production capacity to the California market. While the renewal project would not increase the refinery's consumption of crude oil beyond currently permitted levels, it would improve the refinery's ability to process a more varied proportional mix of crude oil types than it currently processes. The renewal project would increase the portion/percentage of the refinery's total gasoline production that can meet California specifications and be distributed to local markets by 300,000 gallons/day or 6 percent more than current refinery production levels.
The proposed project would require a Conditional Use Permit from the City of Richmond and Design Review. The project will also require a Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate (ATC/PTO).
