“As the City begins to implement this plan, we
urge Mayor Garcetti and the City Council to prioritize environmental justice
issues such as: putting in place a 2,500-foot health and safety buffer for new
and existing oil drilling operations; mandating Valero refinery in Wilmington that
uses extremely dangerous and deadly modified hydrofluoric acid in its refining
process to switch to safer alternatives; and continuing to work with community-based
organizations for aggressively reducing cumulative impacts of pollution in
Clean Up-Green Up Communities such as Wilmington.”
