Trump Administration to Dredge San Francisco Bay to Make Room for More Oil

CBE, together with several allied environmental groups, filed comments Monday challenging a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) from the Trump Administration’s Army Corps of Engineers seeking to dredge the San Francisco Bay to let oil tankers in and out of the Bay with fuller loads. The comments, backed up with a technical report by CBE scientist Greg Karras, assert that the Trump Administration failed to consider significant impacts of the Dredging Project in the DEIS, including how it will allow more oil products into and out of the Bay’s refineries, causing more greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in the communities of color that live near the refineries
