su 9Jae7: REVIEW THE EXPORTING OF CRUDE OIL BY THE .`'J •
ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
.�
SPECIFIC R901JEST(S) OR RECOMMENDA`"ON(G) Ik BACKGROUND AND 7U5YIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
. That the Environmental Affairs Committee review and report
to the Board as to the appropriateness of exporting crude
oil, produced in Southern California and transported to
Contra Costa marine terminals by pipeline for shipment back
to Southern California to determine whether this activity is
in the Counties best interest and .also whether existing
regulations are adequate.
Request our B.A.A.Q.M.D. representatives to determine the
adequacy of Air District permits for crude oil export.
BACKGROUND:
Recent newspaper articles report that Chevron will export
Point Arguello crude oil from a marine terminal in Martinez.
Santa Barbara, based on their land use policy requiring
transport of petroleum product by pipeline, denied Chevron' s
application to export Point Arguello crude oil by tanker and
conditioned export by pipeline to E1 Segundo, less than 200
miles south of Santa Barbara. For economic reasons Chevron
has chosen to pipe the crude to Martinez for export and then
ship the crude by tanker past Santa Barbara to E1 Segundo.
B.A.A.Q.M.D. representatives estimate that an average of one
ton of volitals are emitted from each loading. Martinez
Terminal, (previously Land Sea, ) does not have adequate
marine vapor control equipment in place. District
representatives say that even though vapor control is
inadequate, that this activity can occur without permit
review (see attached letter) .
Information as to the risk of spill and explosion is
necessary to determine whether land use policy is
appropriate. Does this activity contribute to our economy?

B.A.A.Q.M.D.
FROM: Supervisor Fand41
RE: Chevron crude shipment from Martinez Terminal
I am concerned that Chevron will be shipping crude oil from
Santa Barbara through the Texaco/Getty pipeline to Martinez,
loaded on tankers at the Martinez Terminal near Tosco for
shipment back to Los Angeles. I think it inappropriate that
our area will be receiving air pollution so that Chevron can
save money by not using the already existing but pricey
pipeline to Los Angeles.
Please advise me what permit authority the B.A.A.Q.M.D. has
over this proposed activity. I am particularly interested
in the applicability of Rule 2-1-404 Changes in Throughput
and Hours of Operation.
I understand that vapor recovery equipment at Martinez
Terminal is designed for import not export of crude. Please
advise me how the marine vapor recovery rule applies to this
activity.
