The Torrance Refinery Action Alliance (TRAA) sued two Southern California refineries this month in the wake of the Garden Grove chemical leak that forced nearly 50,000 residents to evacuate. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court against the Torrance and Wilmington refineries, seeks safety records under the California Public Records Act. “Garden Grove … is not the only city in Southern California harboring a potential ticking time bomb when it comes to a mass casualty event arising from a toxic industrial chemical tank,” TRAA said in a statement.
