Raven SR Project Updated IS/MND

The Raven SR Project involves the construction and operation of a bioenergy facility located at 1 Parr Boulevard in Richmond, California. The facility is designed to convert food and green waste into transportation-grade hydrogen. The project is governed by the Richmond General Plan and the Richmond Municipal Code, with the City of Richmond serving as the lead agency for environmental compliance. The project has been granted a Notice of Determination following the adoption of an updated Mitigated Negative Declaration and an environmental initial study, which ensure that potentially significant environmental effects are reduced to a less-than-significant level. Final approval was granted by the City Council on May 16, 2023, via Resolution No. 42. Key requirements for the project include adherence to a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and specific conditions of approval for the design review and conditional use permit under Planning Application No. PLN21-282. Primary administrative oversight is provided by the City of Richmond Community Development Department and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
