"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The Valero Energy Corporation is facing a deadline in the coming days to respond to questions from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency about power issues at its Benicia oil refinery several months after an outage shut down the entire facility for weeks, leading to a major release of pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The EPA wants detailed information about the outages that have led to flaring events at the refinery over the last three years, and it wants inspection records for all of the facility's process units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"EPA believes that much of the requested information is, or should be, readily available at the facility,\" wrote Enrique Manzanilla, director of the agency's Pacific Southwest Superfund Division, in a letter obtained by KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has asked Valero to explain its policies on handling outages, its risk management program and its flare system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The company may not withhold any information from EPA on the grounds that it is confidential business information,\" the July 27 letter states. The EPA says Valero is required to respond to the agency within 30 days of receiving the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage initially sent a huge plume of smoke into the air, prompting evacuation and shelter-in-place orders. It would later lead to several local and state investigations, a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, a decrease in profits for Valero and a push for more refinery oversight by the city of Benicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Valero official says the company is working on providing answers to federal officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We did receive the EPA request, and we intend to respond accordingly,\" Lillian Riojas, a Valero spokesman, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The EPA's demands seem to go against the image the Trump administration has established as less interested in strong regulations on the fossil fuel industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This letter is a bit surprising given that Trump's EPA seems to be ignoring many public health issues to the delight of just about every polluter in the country,\" said Hollin Kretzmann, at the Center for Biological Diversity, in an email. \"The EPA must think Valero's practices are especially concerning if it's asking for this information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he says the agency is not being aggressive enough. \"This might be little more than a public relations exercise in the face of increasingly high-profile pollution problems at Bay Area refineries,\" Kretzmann said. \"There's no assurance that any of this information gathering will lead to meaningful action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Kammen, a professor in the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley who has long advocated for strong solutions to climate change, says the EPA's demand for information from one of the nation's largest oil companies in connection with a local emergency should be the kind of on-the-ground work the agency does, no matter who's in the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Actual workers at the EPA have to continue their jobs irrespective of political interference,\" Kammen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the EPA did not act on its federal mandate to react to Valero's pollution release, it could be sued by environmental groups, according to Anthony Wexler, director of the Air Quality Research Center at UC Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Despite (EPA Administrator Scott) Pruitt's stance on climate and environment in general, in numerous decisions he has shied away from taking actions that will certainly lose in court,\" Wexler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency's demands are part of a review of the refinery prompted by the May 5 outage, according to EPA officials who declined to comment further on the agency's letter to Valero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They came a month after Valero filed a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/30/valero-sues-pge-for-reckless-outage-at-benicia-refinery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lawsuit \u003c/a>against PG&E, blaming the utility for the power failure. The oil giant is seeking in excess of $75 million for damage to refinery equipment and lost revenue it says was the result of the shutdown that took place after PG&E \"shut off all electricity\" to the Benicia facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E has said the power failure was triggered by an \"inadvertent operation\" to protect electrical circuits. It has hired an engineering firm to review the cause. That company, Exponent, has yet to turn over a report to PG&E, according to utility spokeswoman Deanna Contreras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery released more than 80,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide from flaring in the days and weeks after the outage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, KQED revealed that the refinery released more than\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/12/valero-outage-sent-37-tons-of-toxic-gas-into-air-over-two-weeks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 74,000 pounds of the toxic gas\u003c/a> during 14 days of flaring after the outage, described as a \"huge amount\" by experts. That information came from a report the company filed with state officials and was obtained through a California Public Records Act Request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valero filed a separate report with the California Office of Emergency Services last month that showed the refinery released more than 8,200 pounds of sulfur dioxide on June 18 and 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage prompted several investigations, including one that revealed damage to part of the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) inspected the refinery after the power failure, closed its investigation the same month and decided not to issue any violations afterward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outage did damage one of the refinery's flares, according to Cal/OSHA. \"Attention was given to the South Flare, due to damage on flare tips and the dump stack,\" wrote Cal/OSHA safety engineer Sean Sasser in a notice after the inspection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued \u003ca href=\"http://www.baaqmd.gov/~/media/files/communications-and-outreach/publications/news-releases/2017/2017_045_valeronovs_050917-pdf.pdf?la=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several notices of violation\u003c/a> against the company due to the flaring in the days after the shutdown. Its investigation is ongoing, according to district spokesman Ralph Borrmann.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano County's Department of Resource Management also launched a probe. That review is ongoing and is expected to be completed in October, according to Terry Schmidtbauer, the department's director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say the outage led to an increase in the state's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/10/after-valero-refinery-outage-three-probes-and-rising-gas-prices/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gasoline prices\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the shutdown hurt Valero's bottom line. Its lawsuit claimed that the company lost a \"substantial amount of profits.\" The company's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mysanantonio.com/business/eagle-ford-energy/article/Valero-2Q-profits-fall-32-7-percent-on-higher-11469580.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">second-quarter earnings\u003c/a>, released last month, fell by more than 30 percent, apparently because it took several weeks to get the refinery back online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage has also prompted Benicia city leaders to consider increasing \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/23/valero-outage-prompts-benicia-to-consider-industrial-safety-ordinance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their oversight of the refinery\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/09/benicia-mayor-calls-for-key-emergency-improvements-after-valero-refinery-outage-and-flaring/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">improve how they communicate with residents\u003c/a> about emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the day of the shutdown, authorities imposed shelter-in-place evacuation orders for parts of the city, and at least a dozen people sought medical treatment for breathing difficulties.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It would later lead to several local and state investigations, a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, a decrease in profits for Valero and a push for more refinery oversight by the city of Benicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Valero official says the company is working on providing answers to federal officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We did receive the EPA request, and we intend to respond accordingly,\" Lillian Riojas, a Valero spokesman, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The EPA's demands seem to go against the image the Trump administration has established as less interested in strong regulations on the fossil fuel industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This letter is a bit surprising given that Trump's EPA seems to be ignoring many public health issues to the delight of just about every polluter in the country,\" said Hollin Kretzmann, at the Center for Biological Diversity, in an email. \"The EPA must think Valero's practices are especially concerning if it's asking for this information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he says the agency is not being aggressive enough. \"This might be little more than a public relations exercise in the face of increasingly high-profile pollution problems at Bay Area refineries,\" Kretzmann said. \"There's no assurance that any of this information gathering will lead to meaningful action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Kammen, a professor in the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley who has long advocated for strong solutions to climate change, says the EPA's demand for information from one of the nation's largest oil companies in connection with a local emergency should be the kind of on-the-ground work the agency does, no matter who's in the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Actual workers at the EPA have to continue their jobs irrespective of political interference,\" Kammen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the EPA did not act on its federal mandate to react to Valero's pollution release, it could be sued by environmental groups, according to Anthony Wexler, director of the Air Quality Research Center at UC Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Despite (EPA Administrator Scott) Pruitt's stance on climate and environment in general, in numerous decisions he has shied away from taking actions that will certainly lose in court,\" Wexler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency's demands are part of a review of the refinery prompted by the May 5 outage, according to EPA officials who declined to comment further on the agency's letter to Valero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They came a month after Valero filed a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/30/valero-sues-pge-for-reckless-outage-at-benicia-refinery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lawsuit \u003c/a>against PG&E, blaming the utility for the power failure. The oil giant is seeking in excess of $75 million for damage to refinery equipment and lost revenue it says was the result of the shutdown that took place after PG&E \"shut off all electricity\" to the Benicia facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E has said the power failure was triggered by an \"inadvertent operation\" to protect electrical circuits. It has hired an engineering firm to review the cause. That company, Exponent, has yet to turn over a report to PG&E, according to utility spokeswoman Deanna Contreras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery released more than 80,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide from flaring in the days and weeks after the outage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, KQED revealed that the refinery released more than\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/12/valero-outage-sent-37-tons-of-toxic-gas-into-air-over-two-weeks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 74,000 pounds of the toxic gas\u003c/a> during 14 days of flaring after the outage, described as a \"huge amount\" by experts. That information came from a report the company filed with state officials and was obtained through a California Public Records Act Request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valero filed a separate report with the California Office of Emergency Services last month that showed the refinery released more than 8,200 pounds of sulfur dioxide on June 18 and 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage prompted several investigations, including one that revealed damage to part of the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) inspected the refinery after the power failure, closed its investigation the same month and decided not to issue any violations afterward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outage did damage one of the refinery's flares, according to Cal/OSHA. \"Attention was given to the South Flare, due to damage on flare tips and the dump stack,\" wrote Cal/OSHA safety engineer Sean Sasser in a notice after the inspection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued \u003ca href=\"http://www.baaqmd.gov/~/media/files/communications-and-outreach/publications/news-releases/2017/2017_045_valeronovs_050917-pdf.pdf?la=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several notices of violation\u003c/a> against the company due to the flaring in the days after the shutdown. Its investigation is ongoing, according to district spokesman Ralph Borrmann.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano County's Department of Resource Management also launched a probe. That review is ongoing and is expected to be completed in October, according to Terry Schmidtbauer, the department's director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say the outage led to an increase in the state's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/10/after-valero-refinery-outage-three-probes-and-rising-gas-prices/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gasoline prices\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the shutdown hurt Valero's bottom line. Its lawsuit claimed that the company lost a \"substantial amount of profits.\" The company's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mysanantonio.com/business/eagle-ford-energy/article/Valero-2Q-profits-fall-32-7-percent-on-higher-11469580.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">second-quarter earnings\u003c/a>, released last month, fell by more than 30 percent, apparently because it took several weeks to get the refinery back online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage has also prompted Benicia city leaders to consider increasing \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/23/valero-outage-prompts-benicia-to-consider-industrial-safety-ordinance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their oversight of the refinery\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/09/benicia-mayor-calls-for-key-emergency-improvements-after-valero-refinery-outage-and-flaring/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">improve how they communicate with residents\u003c/a> about emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>As the high-profile murder trial over the 2015 slaying of Kathryn Steinle opened in San Francisco Monday, defense attorneys argued to include testimony about a previously undisclosed auto burglary they say is related to the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinle's death fueled a hard-line stance on immigration enforcement championed by President Trump and Republican lawmakers. The case inspired \"Kate's Law,\" which \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/29/congress-approves-law-to-punish-sanctuary-cities-california-attorney-general-pushes-back/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">passed the House in June\u003c/a> and would impose harsher criminal sentences for people who repeatedly enter the U.S. illegally, as defendant Jose Inez Garcia Zarate did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate, who was previously identified as Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez, is facing a first-degree murder charge for allegedly firing the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Attorneys-for-Pier-14-suspect-Fatal-bullet-was-6467414.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shot that ricocheted\u003c/a> off San Francisco's Pier 14 and fatally struck Steinle in the back on July 1, 2015.

"content": "\u003cp>Against the sparkling backdrop of sailboats bobbing on San Francisco Bay, Gov. Jerry Brown last month signed a bill extending California's cap-and-trade program, assuring that the most high-profile piece of the state's fight against climate change persists for another decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Sacramento hearing room two days later, the California Air Resources Board approved a paragraph, tucked within a 17-page \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2016/capandtrade16/ctreso17-21.pdf\">resolution\u003c/a>, that will likely result in benefits worth hundreds of millions of dollars for the oil and agriculture industries. It was the first domino to visibly fall as a consequence of behind-the-scenes dealmaking that produced a cap-and-trade program acceptable to both key environmental groups and major polluters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board’s generous impulse toward those polluters was an abrupt reversal of previous plans, ran counter to \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2016/capandtrade16/attachb.pdf\">staff recommendations\u003c/a>, and left at least one confused board member later saying he wished he had abstained from voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the board’s move was not written into the cap-and-trade legislation Brown signed, the bill’s author acknowledged it was a necessary concession in the scramble to secure its cliffhanger passage in the Legislature. Cap and trade, which lawmakers extended until 2030 with a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/latest-california-innovation-republican-case-cap-trade/\">bipartisan\u003c/a> vote, is supposed to help California slow global warming by forcing industry to either operate more cleanly or pay to pollute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was part of the deal to make sure we could get a (two-thirds) vote to extend the cap-and-trade program,” said Democratic Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia of Coachella. “Without a doubt, it's a compromise in order to reach the greater goal, and at the same time, to put forward what would be the nation’s strongest air quality policies that you could ever see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal would provide maximum compensation to companies for the extra cost of doing business in a state with the nation’s toughest emissions standards. But some critics say it merely gives a lucrative financial leg-up to polluting firms that don’t need it—and by removing some of those firms’ incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, could even undermine cap and trade’s prime goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[CaClimateDeal]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complex program, which took effect in 2013, illustrates the delicate balancing act California is trying to pull off as it works to lead the world in aggressively combating climate change while simultaneously fostering a robust economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it works: California sets a steadily decreasing “cap” on greenhouse gas emissions each year, and sells major businesses permits, known as allowances, allowing them to pollute. To ease the burden on industry, the state also gives many permits away for free. That allocation is determined by a complicated formula that depends, in part, on how likely the companies are to flee the state if regulations become too financially burdensome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board has grouped businesses into three categories based on whether they are at high-, medium- or low-risk of moving out of state. Each category is assigned an “industry assistance factor” that plays into the formula for free allowances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-risk industries such as oil and gas producers are guaranteed 100 percent assistance in perpetuity. The two other categories have been receiving maximum assistance since 2013, but that was scheduled to drop next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant hundreds of businesses—primarily oil refineries, but also fruit and vegetable canneries, large wineries and breweries, plaster and stucco manufacturers, and assorted other smokestack industries—were slated to receive fewer free allowances for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system was designed to be generous in the early years of the program, but as businesses adjusted, the state intended to wean companies off the allowances. In recent years the air board staff has even recommended dropping below the 75 and 50 percent reductions scheduled to take effect next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But each time the board considered peeling away some of the allowances, California businesses have fought back with chilling declarations of financial ruin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the July meeting, the board unanimously passed a resolution asking staff to produce a regulation change that would keep all California’s covered industries at the 100 percent assistance rate. It will make a final decision later, although dozens of lobbyists at the meeting lined up to offer their thanks as if it were a done deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board’s move would ensure industry the maximum assistance through 2020. The cap-and-trade bill then guarantees it through from 2021 to 2030. The upshot: California will have bestowed the biggest possible financial cushion to every polluter in the state for the entirety of cap and trade’s existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown’s office referred reporters’ questions to the air board, which is part of his administration. The board chair—a Brown appointee—said she was not privy to legislators’ deals. She noted that the board frequently adjusts any number of aspects of the regulations and that focusing on which companies got which allowances misses the larger point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From my perspective, my eye is on the ball—it’s a long ball,” said Mary Nichols. She added that the agency is focused on running a market-based program that is “calm and well managed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11613069 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-800x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-1180x795.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-960x647.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-240x162.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-375x253.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-520x350.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

The actual resolution the board considered, as well as the staff’s discussion, were not publicly available prior to the meeting.

Jerry Brown last month signed a bill extending California's cap-and-trade program, assuring that the most high-profile piece of the state's fight against climate change persists for another decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Sacramento hearing room two days later, the California Air Resources Board approved a paragraph, tucked within a 17-page \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2016/capandtrade16/ctreso17-21.pdf\">resolution\u003c/a>, that will likely result in benefits worth hundreds of millions of dollars for the oil and agriculture industries. It was the first domino to visibly fall as a consequence of behind-the-scenes dealmaking that produced a cap-and-trade program acceptable to both key environmental groups and major polluters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board’s generous impulse toward those polluters was an abrupt reversal of previous plans, ran counter to \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2016/capandtrade16/attachb.pdf\">staff recommendations\u003c/a>, and left at least one confused board member later saying he wished he had abstained from voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the board’s move was not written into the cap-and-trade legislation Brown signed, the bill’s author acknowledged it was a necessary concession in the scramble to secure its cliffhanger passage in the Legislature. Cap and trade, which lawmakers extended until 2030 with a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/latest-california-innovation-republican-case-cap-trade/\">bipartisan\u003c/a> vote, is supposed to help California slow global warming by forcing industry to either operate more cleanly or pay to pollute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was part of the deal to make sure we could get a (two-thirds) vote to extend the cap-and-trade program,” said Democratic Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia of Coachella. “Without a doubt, it's a compromise in order to reach the greater goal, and at the same time, to put forward what would be the nation’s strongest air quality policies that you could ever see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But some critics say it merely gives a lucrative financial leg-up to polluting firms that don’t need it—and by removing some of those firms’ incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, could even undermine cap and trade’s prime goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[CaClimateDeal]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complex program, which took effect in 2013, illustrates the delicate balancing act California is trying to pull off as it works to lead the world in aggressively combating climate change while simultaneously fostering a robust economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it works: California sets a steadily decreasing “cap” on greenhouse gas emissions each year, and sells major businesses permits, known as allowances, allowing them to pollute. To ease the burden on industry, the state also gives many permits away for free. That allocation is determined by a complicated formula that depends, in part, on how likely the companies are to flee the state if regulations become too financially burdensome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board has grouped businesses into three categories based on whether they are at high-, medium- or low-risk of moving out of state. Each category is assigned an “industry assistance factor” that plays into the formula for free allowances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-risk industries such as oil and gas producers are guaranteed 100 percent assistance in perpetuity. The two other categories have been receiving maximum assistance since 2013, but that was scheduled to drop next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant hundreds of businesses—primarily oil refineries, but also fruit and vegetable canneries, large wineries and breweries, plaster and stucco manufacturers, and assorted other smokestack industries—were slated to receive fewer free allowances for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system was designed to be generous in the early years of the program, but as businesses adjusted, the state intended to wean companies off the allowances. In recent years the air board staff has even recommended dropping below the 75 and 50 percent reductions scheduled to take effect next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But each time the board considered peeling away some of the allowances, California businesses have fought back with chilling declarations of financial ruin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the July meeting, the board unanimously passed a resolution asking staff to produce a regulation change that would keep all California’s covered industries at the 100 percent assistance rate. It will make a final decision later, although dozens of lobbyists at the meeting lined up to offer their thanks as if it were a done deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board’s move would ensure industry the maximum assistance through 2020. The cap-and-trade bill then guarantees it through from 2021 to 2030. The upshot: California will have bestowed the biggest possible financial cushion to every polluter in the state for the entirety of cap and trade’s existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown’s office referred reporters’ questions to the air board, which is part of his administration. The board chair—a Brown appointee—said she was not privy to legislators’ deals. She noted that the board frequently adjusts any number of aspects of the regulations and that focusing on which companies got which allowances misses the larger point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From my perspective, my eye is on the ball—it’s a long ball,” said Mary Nichols. She added that the agency is focused on running a market-based program that is “calm and well managed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11613069 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-800x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-1180x795.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-960x647.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-240x162.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-375x253.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-520x350.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.
