(San Francisco Baykeeper) An aerial photo of the Levin-Richmond Terminal in Richmond, California. The shipping of coal and petcoke from the Richmond terminal will be phased out by the end of 2026. At a proposed terminal in Oakland, shipments of the materials have been nixed, according to a settlement framework announced by the City of Oakland on Feb. 2, 2022. The agreement would mean coal from Utah could not be shipped out of the port.
