Communities for a Better Environment — the non-profit that was at the sides of Crockett and Rodeo residents during the aftermath of the Rodeo refinery’s Catacarb spill 2 decades ago — filed a lawsuit against P66 and Contra Costa County. CBE asserted that the Environmental Impact Report hid the fact that it was a cheap, dirty-energy Canadian Tars Sands project and failed to acknowledge and mitigate the dangers of explosions and the dangerous increase in air pollution.

Two other groups are also sued over the insufficient EIR: Rodeo Citizens Association (RCA) and SAFER, a refinery worker group.
