Defending Fenceline Communities From Oil Refinery Pollution
This case study by Earthjustice details a legal effort to compel the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to update air pollution standards for oil refineries. The effort resulted in a September 2015 rule establishing national fenceline monitoring for benzene and tightening controls on flaring and other emissions to protect vulnerable low-income communities and people of color.
