BAKERSFIELD, CA. - The Kern County Board of Surpervisors is facing a lawsuit over its approval for a project at the Rosedale Alon Refinery.
This morning a coalition of concerned citizens, environmental groups, and health and safety advocates filed the suit.
They claim the project which would increase crude by rail shipments to the alon refinery would harm air quality and subject residents to risks from possible derailments.
The suit by groups like the Sierra Club and Earthjustice, claims that the county failed to fully assess the project's risks and disclose them to the public.
