Judge orders Chevron to halt California project
HOUSTON, July 2 (Reuters) - A California state judge ordered Chevron Corp (NYSE: CVX - news) to halt a $1 billion project aimed at expanding the types of crude oils its Richmond, California, refinery can process, a lawyer opposing the project said on Thursday.
Judge Barbara Zuniga said the environmental impact report filed to obtain construction permits for a new hydrogen plant at the refinery failed to depict how pollution from the refinery would be changed by the project and provide a greenhouse gas mitigation plan as required by California law.
