Martinez Refining Company Oversight Committee Meeting (Contra Costa Health)

  • Date: 02/16/2023 3:00 PM  

MRC Investigation Oversight Committee 

Contra Costa Health has established an oversight committee to oversee the independent investigation and community risk assessment related to the Nov. 24-25 release of heavy metals into the surrounding community by Martinez Refining Company.

The oversight committee will advise the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors and Contra Costa Health’s (CCH) Hazardous Materials Program on the hiring of contractors to probe the cause of the release, and separately the impact that it had on community health and the environment. The committee will review and direct the work as it proceeds and is ultimately reported to the Board and the public.

The nine-member oversight committee will be chaired by a Hazardous Materials Program staff member and include representatives from the City of Martinez, MRC, the labor organizations representing MRC workers, and five at-large members from Martinez, Pacheco, or other communities near the refinery.
