BENICIA – Valero Energy has agreed to pay $345,000 for 17 alleged air quality violations at its Benicia refinery in 2017, the bulk of which stemmed from a May 2017 incident when a power outage sent black plumes of smoke into the air and thousands of pounds of toxic gas, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District announced on Thursday.
