The South Coast Air Quality Management District will host a public hearing Tuesday seeking comment on Tesoro’s proposal to unite its Wilmington and Carson oil refineries into one giant plant that would become the West Coast’s largest refinery.
The event will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the Juanita Millender-McDonald Community Center, 801 E. Carson St., in Carson.
Tesoro’s Los Angeles Refinery Integration and Compliance project proposes joining its two neighboring facilities, making them more efficient.
Among other changes, the company would build a new propane sales treating unit, a new sulfuric acid regeneration plant and a new wet jet treater to reduce acid levels in jet fuel. They would build two 300,000-barrel storage tanks to replace smaller, older ones in Wilmington, and up to six 500,000-barrel tanks in Carson.
New pipelines, transport pumps and other support equipment also would be included.
The draft environmental impact report for the project can be viewed at www.aqmd.gov and comments will be accepted through May 24.
