Update On 2010 Deadly Explosion
Tesoro's Anacortes, Washington, Refinery

From PennEnergy: Judge vacates state fine in deadly Tesoro refinery blast.
A judge has overturned a workplace-safety fine levied against Tesoro following the 2010 deadly explosion at its Anacortes, Washington, refinery.
The proposed order by Judge Mark Jaffe with the state Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals on Thursday vacates nearly $2.4 million in penalties.
He said the Washington Department of Labor and Industries failed to show that Tesoro committed any of the alleged violations. 
The state wants "full board" ruling.
