Big West Refinery Seeks To Bypass Planning Commission

Officials at the Big West Refinery are asking Kern County officials to bypass the Kern County Planning Commission review of its proposed expansion.

Citing a November deadline to use its multi-million-dollar air pollution credits, refinery officials are asking to speed up the process by going straight to county Supervisors for approval.

The request from Big West comes after county planning staff deemed an environmental impact report on the project insufficient.
