Tesoro Refining & Marketing's Los Angeles Refinery Integration and Compliance (LARIC) project will link their Wilmington and Carson refineries. This will reduce greenhouse gas, nitrogen oxide, sulfur oxide and particulate matter emissions, provide uninterrupted electrical power, and significantly improve the reliable supply of transportation fuels for our region. The Draft Environment Impact Report was recently released, so now is the time to take action.
Can you please act now to support Tesoro's investment to improve our region's energy supply and air quality?

As a result of the LARIC project, local emissions will be reduced and air quality will be improved. In addition, much-needed jobs will be created for local workers, local businesses will gain hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues, and millions of dollars in state and local tax revenues will be generated, which can be used to help fund local priorities in Carson and Wilmington.
Tesoro has demonstrated a strong commitment to our community and this project will benefit all of us who live and work in the area by improving local air quality, modernizing and upgrading refinery equipment, and generating significant local economic benefits.
