Actually, going by the refinery and Google Earth satellite history it was sometime between 1995 and 2002. The building with the four cooling towers near the bayou is gone by 2002. The layout of the tanks behind it matches 2002, but was different in 1995.
Or I could have just image searched it. Wikipedia shows it posted on November 12, 2000. However, the description lists it as December 11. The original source link is no longer online. The mystery continues.

Air quality has improved in all cities since the 90s. San Diego used to average 100+ ozone days, now it's only 7 and it's because of one monitoring station 30 miles east of here in the foothills.
