The saga of Benicia’s Valero Refinery may finally have an official end date. This is not only going to impact Benicia, but California as well. According to a list from the California Energy Commission, Benicia has 8.94 percent of the state’s crude oil capacity. Before the vote, Benicia was previously the only Bay Area refinery town to not yet have an Industrial Safety Ordinance. However, the Benicia City Manager said that the Benicia City Council passing an Industrial Safety Ordinance 5-0 earlier in April was a separate entity and that the reasons for the possible departure had more economic and political reasons.
