On March 7, the Torrance City Council voted to direct City staff to return in three to four weeks with alternative versions of a resolution indicating the City’s support of Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi’s five bills (AB 1645-1649) to significantly improve safety at the refinery, as well as phase out use of Modified HF. In addition, the resolution would support the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s efforts to execute procedures for proposed Rule 1118 (Emission Controls) and Rule 1410 (Phase out use of MHF). Councilmember Tim Goodrich proposed the resolution prompting the vote and suggested the following language: “Be it resolved that [the Torrance City Council] calls for the phasing out of MHF at the Torrance Refinery in exchange for a safer alternative.” On March 8, the LA County Board of Supervisors voted on a motion from Supervisor Janice Hahn and Supervisor Sheila Kuehl to support Muratsuchi’s refinery bill package (AB1646-1649) and the proposed Rule 1410 to ban use of HF/MHF. The motion passed unanimously. The Torrance Refinery Action Alliance (TRAA) stated that is thankful these governmental bodies unequivocally showed support for elimination of Modified HF in California refineries, noting that “as the language in AB 1645 and Rule 1410 is formed, TRAA will continue to stress the importance of HF/MHF removal from the Torrance and Wilmington refineries by January 1, 2020. The timeline of removal of MHF is of utmost importance for the safety of the community.” Torrance PD Tip-A-Cop Fundraiser March 16 The Torrance Police Department will be working with the Special Olympics of Southern California to host a Tip-A-Cop fundraiser.
