Visiting the Motiva Refinery at Norco. We inadvertently trespassed on the plant property and in less than two minutes we were surrounded by security personnel. They were very nice and understood that our trespass was an accident but they still observed our discussions outside of the property line and followed us out of town.
Scott saw something in the name.
Liz discussing community organization and grassroots environmental efforts outside of the Motiva Refinery at Norco.
The Catholic Cemetery surrounded by the Dow Chemical facility in Taft. Within 60 seconds of our arrival we were met by plant security who asserted that we could not take photos of the plant because they leased the cemetery. After some discussions we decided to leave rather than fight.
