Update; Chevron incident concluded at 11:48 am this morning.

As a result of working to restart the FCC unit, the Chevron refinery experienced a monitoring equipment malfunction resulting in the release of a visible catalyst plume.  While most of this will be contained within the refinery, a dry and white powdery residue may be seen on you vehicle or property.  This material is classified as a non-hazardous substance and can be removed with soap and water.  There may also be a loud sound, which is normal.  The El Segundo Fire Department is monitoring the situation closely.  For comments or concerns, please call Chevron at (310) 615-3747.
