California Air Regulators Win "Decisive Victory" Over East Bay Oil Refineries
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from California, the Bay Area Air Quality Management Agency says
it has won a "decisive victory" in a years-long legal battle against two
oil refineries in the East Bay. In a pair of settlements, Chevron and
the Martinez Refining Company have agreed to cut emissions and pay up to
$138 million in penalties and fines for violating agency rules
regulating airborne particulate matter.
