The Raven SR project. According to a City of Richmond notice, Raven SR is planning to construct a hydrogen plant at 1 Parr Blvd. (Republic Services landfill)
As you may know, the landfill is closed, but the location is used for sorting various types of waste. And, basically, the proposed plant will turn green waste and compost into transportation-grade hydrogen.
Though this is a City of Richmond project, it affects the residents of North Richmond.
We’ve commented on the initial study and the mitigated negative declaration and the revised IS/MND.
We still have concerns about an increase in air pollution, so we recommend that Richmond’s City Council reverse the approval of the negative declaration and do a full Environmental Impact.
We’re also concerned about increased flaring.
May 14 is an opportunity for public comment at the city council meeting.
