A California judge has determined in a tentative ruling that the City of Richmond's Environmental Impact Report analyzing Chevron's planned upgrade at its Richmond refinery is inadequate.Judge Barbara Zuniga of the Contra Costa County Superior Court sided with plaintiffs, finding that the environmental report was unclear on whether the planned project would enable the refinery to process heavier crudes, thereby increasing refinery emissions.
