CBE v. City of Long Beach: Final Ruling

Long Beach must halt the expansion of a polluting oil storage tank at its port, a Los Angeles County Superior Court ruled, citing an inadequate environmental review of a project expected to emit cancer-causing chemicals like hydrogen sulfide, benzene, and other toxic chemicals near schools. The court said the City’s California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis failed to accurately describe the project and improperly rejected a feasible alternative.
