Pursuant to Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C.) Title 18, Chapter 2 and Arizona Revised Statues, Title 49, Chapter 3, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has reissued a Class I Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) air quality permit (No. 40140) to Arizona Clean Fuels Yuma, LLC, which is proposing to build and operate a petroleum refinery to be located on an approximately 1,450-acre site, 40 miles east of Yuma, near the community of Tacna, in Yuma County.
When operational, the proposed refinery is expected to produce approximately 150,000 barrels per day (BPD) of motor fuels, including approximately 85,000 BPD of gasoline, 35,000 BPD of diesel fuel and 30,000 BPD of jet fuel. In addition to motor fuels, the refinery will produce liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), sulfur and petroleum coke.
If constructed, this project would represent the first new petroleum refinery constructed in the United States in more than 30 years and the first facility in the western U.S. to be built specifically for the production of newer clean fuels. It would be the only petroleum refinery in Arizona, and the only large refinery between Texas and California.
The public notice for this permit commenced May 31, 2006 and ended July 6, 2006. A public hearing was held in the Wellton Elementary School Gymnasium, 29126 East San Jose Avenue in Wellton, AZ 85356 on Thursday, July 6, 2006, at 6:30 p.m.
