Power outages, flaring put Torrance refinery on hotseat for Wednesday AQMD hearing
Air quality regulators on Wednesday are scheduled to discuss an order requiring the owners of the Torrance Refinery to improve its electrical system after at least three power outages in the last year caused excessive flaring that sent thick black smoke belching across the city. The enforcement hearing hosted by the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s independent Hearing Board is set to begin at 9 a.m. in Diamond Bar.
