Background
On June 25, 1996 the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 96-20, a Hazardous Materials Land Use
Ordinance which was developed by the Hazardous Materials Commission.
Recently some members of the environmental community have challenged the process by which this ordinance
was developed. Specifically they have implied that the point score system used in the ordinance was skewed
in order to assure that certain industrial projects did not require land use permits.
The Ad Hoc Industrial Safety Committee has been meeting to consider a number of ordinances to address
safety issues around refineries. They had a sub-committee meeting this Thursday to further discuss these
issues. The committee would like some policy direction from the full Board of Supervisors concerning some
of these issues.
Land-U-se_Contr_oLvs.-Audits and nspections
The Hazardous Materials Commission suggested a land use approval to assure safety in heavy industrial
projects. The Industrial Committee has suggested an ordinance which relies upon audits and inspections
of facilities. If the land use approach is continued we need to define:
1. Which projects will require Land Use Permits.
2. Whether or not to use the point score system.
3. What building inspection requirements there will be.
If the audit inspection approach is taken,we need to be certain that the county will retain this authority,
both before and after the implementation of Risk Management Plans(RMP's)pursuant to SB 1889(Calderon)
and the Federal Clean Air Act. The Committee needs your policy direction regarding these issues.
Hazardous-Materials Commission_P__rocess
There has been a challenge to the process taken by the Hazardous Materials Commission. We think there
should be a report from staff regarding the issues and recommendations to avoid problems in the
future.

Re: . Potential Conflict of Interest: Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials
Commission Member Tom Lindemuth
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are writing to express our. concern about potential conflicts of interest
..for Tom.Lindemuth, a member of the Contra Costa.County Hazardous Materials
Commission. Mr. Lindemuth has been participating in County�decisionmaking
regarding the provisions of an ordinance that subjects certain industrial facilities to
land use review. At the same time, he has been representing an industrial client for
the purpose of persuading the County that this.client's project is exempt from land
use review under the Ordinance. We believe this dual representation may violate
j, the California Political Reform Act and County ordinances and policies regarding.
conflicts of interest and financial disclosure. We.are requesting your help in
investigating Mr. Lindemuth's activities and, if necessary, taking appropriate
enforcement
action.' -
Facts
The Commission was established pursuant to Health and-Safety Code section.
J 25135.2. Its function is to assist the County in preparing and administering the
County's.hazardous waste management plan. (Ibid.) Section 251.35.2 requires that
such advisory committees consist.of.at least one representative of industry, one
1 representative of an environmental organization and one representative of the
.r public. The statute also requires the Board of Supervisors to appoint, to.the extent

possible, other members that have expertise including, but not limited to,
engineering, geology and water quality.
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors appointed the Hazardous
Materials Commission in 1986. In addition to the city representatives required by
the statute, the Board of Supervisors appointed the following representatives: two
industrial, two environmental, one taxpayers, one League of Women Voters, one
labor, one public and one environmental engineering. Mr. Lindemuth was
Aa appointed to the Commission to represent
environmental engineering firms.
"a The Board of Supervisors charged the Commission with a broader set of
responsibilities than are set forth in section 25135.2, including drafting a
hazardous materials ordinance for consideration by the Board of Supervisors.
The Ordinance was drafted by the Commission's Planning and Policy Development
Committee, which was chaired by Mr. Lindemuth. The Ordinance drafted by the
Committee requires permits for projects involving hazardous wastes or materials at
industrial facilities (e.g., oil refineries, chemical plants) that exceed a specified hazard
score (point total). The hazard score is based on a consideration of a number of risk
-.d factors (e.g., amount of hazardous materials involved, proximity to residences, etc.)
On June 18, 1996, Mr. Lindemuth presented the Ordinance drafted by his Planning
and Policy Development Committee to the Board of Supervisors for its
consideration. The Ordinance was adopted by the Board.
We believe that the first project considered by the County under the new
Ordinance is a project at the Unocal oil refinery in Rodeo. Unocal hired
Mr. Lindemuth, along with other consultants, to evaluate the hazard score of
the Unocal project under the Ordinance and to present a report to the County
describing their conclusions. The report prepared by Mr. Lindemuth and Unocal's
other consultants concluded that the hazard score for the project was not high
enough to trigger County land use review. Although we do not know the details of
when Mr. Lindemuth provided these services to Unocal or was paid for his work on
the Unocal project, the report prepared by Mr. Lindemuth and the other consultants
is dated August 5, 1996, and was presented to the County on August 7, 1996. (Exhibit
A)
It appears that, on several occasions, Mr. Lindemuth has participated in
ry County decisionmaking in his capacity as a member of the Hazardous Materials
Commission where those decisions could have a material financial effect on
the Unocal application that he helped prepare as a paid consultant. Since
adoption of the Ordinance in late June, the Board of Supervisors, the Planning
Commission and the Hazardous Materials Commission have been
considering amendments to the Ordinance proposed by a coalition of
environmental, community and labor groups, and by the County Community
Development Department staff. These amendments include proposals to lower
._� the hazard score that triggers the County permit requirement under the
Y+
ri Ordinance.
On June 25, 1995, Mr. Lindemuth presented testimony in his capacity as
Chair of the Hazardous Materials Commission's Planning and Policy Development
Committee to the Board of Supervisors, in which he opposed any amendments to
the new Ordinance, including amendments to lower the hazard score. On July 15,
1996, Mr. Lindemuth again testified regarding the proposed amendments to the
Ordinance at a meeting of the Board of Supervisors' Ad Hoc Committee on
�J Industrial Safety. On July 29, 1996, Mr. Lindemuth pard -ipated as a member of the
Hazardous Materials Commission at a joint meeting of the Commission, the Ad
Hoc Committee on Industrial Safety and the County Planning Commission. At this
meeting, Mr. Lindemuth presented oral and written comments opposing the
proposed amendments to the Ordinance, and specifically opposing any lowering of
the hazard score that would trigger County permitting.
On August 29, 1996, Mr. Lindemuth testified at another meeting of the Ad
Hoc Committee on Industrial Safety. He indicated that he was testifying as a Chair
of the Commission's Planning and Policy Development Committee. On
this occasion, Mr. Lindemuth indicated that he was opposed to the County staff
recommendation that the hazard score for County permitting be lowered to 60
points. He did not publicly disclose on this or any other occasion that he had
prepared a report for Unocal on a project currently pending before the County that
rated a hazard score of 61.
Legal Standards
A. State Laws and Regulations
71
The Political Reform Act provides as follows:
No public official at any level of state or local government shall make,
participate in making or in any way attempt to use his official position to influence a
governmental decision in which he knows or has reason to know he has a financial
—' interest. (Gov't Code § 87100.)
Public officials are defined as "every member, officer, employee or
" consultant of a state or local government agency . . . ." (§ 82048.) A 'local
government agency" includes any commission of a county. (§ 82041.)
ti The FPPC's regulations define "participates in making a governmental
decision" as advising or making recommendations to the decisionmaker by,
inter aha, preparing reports, analyses, or opinions requiring the exercise of
judgment and for the purpose of influencing a governmental decision. (2 CCR §
18700(c)(2)(B).)
An official is financially interested in a decision "if it is reasonably
:.i
.fit
--i
� f
foreseeable that the decision will have a material financial effect, distinguishable
from its effect on the public generally, on the official" or on, inter alia, a source of
income of at least $250 over the year prior to the decision. (§ 87103.)
B. County Standards
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ("Board") has issued a policy
statement regarding conflicts of interests for members of the Commission. (See
Exhibit L'; pp. 4-5 (Section VI of the Cc,nmission's bylaws).) This policy summarizes
the Board's general confli,-t of interest policy for Board appointees, and notes that all
officials should "avoid even any appearance of conflict of interest." (Id., § VI.A.
(citing Board Resolution No. 82/574).) The Board's intent is for these general
policies to apply to the Commission members. However, this policy expressly states
that the Commission members are intended to represent and further the interest of
specified industries and groups responsible for their nomination. For members
� nominated by a trade, industrial, or professional group, these groups are deemed to
constitute a significant segment of the public under Government Code section
87103. (Id., § VI.B.)
Potential Violations
Mr. Lindemuth is advising and making recommendations to the Board about
the Ordinance at the same time Unocal has an application pending with the County
t= that could be materially affected by the Board's decision about the Ordinance.
Hence, he may be participating in a decision in which he knows he has a financial
interest.2 If so, Mr. Lindemuth should have disqualified himself from
participating in the Ordinance amendment process. At the very least, he should
have disclosed his financial interest to the public and the Board.3
It is entirely proper for Commission members to represent various segments
,x that will be generally affected by the Ordinance. (See Health & Safety Code § 25135.2)
Thus, there is no conflict of interest for Mr. Lindemuth to participate in
governmental decisions which may affect environmental engineering firms.
However, Mr. Lindemuth has participated in a governmental decision which
could materially impact his industrial client on a specific application currently
2 If Unocal paid Mr. Lindemuth more than$250 during the past year, Unocal is a "source of income" per
Government Code section 87103. Although the Board has issued a policy statement that the
Commission members represent a"significant segment of the public"for purposes of section
87103, Mr. Lindemuth was appointed to represent engineers, not industry.
3 Even if Mr. Lindemuth is not prohibited from participating in the ordinance amendment process, he
may be required to disclose his financial interest in the decision. See, e.g., Consumers'Union of United
States, Inc. v. California Milk Producers Advisory Bd. (1978) 82 Cal.App.3d 433, 448, 147 Cal.Rptr. 265,
274; Metropolitan Water District v. FPPC (1977) 73 Cal.App.3d 650, 658, 141
r�
A
pending before the County. His participation may have a direct and immediate
impact and, thus,.may constitute a prohibited conflict of interest.
There was no public disclosure of Mr; Lindemuth's connection with Unocal,
and Mr. Lindemuth did not recuse himself from participating in the
decisionmaking process'for the Ordinance. Hence, there was no way for the
public to know whether Mr. Lindemuth was acting on behalf of the general
public, the engineering.profession,.or Unocal when he participated in this
decisionmaking process.
The public has a right to know that public decisionmaking is not tainted by
-, an official's personal economic interest. There should be no shadowy revolving
door where Mr. Lindemuth sometimes appears as a public official and other times
appears as a private consultant for an industrial client. His actions raise serious and.
' fundamental questions about the integrity,of the County's processes. The County's
_ citizens must now ask themselves for whose benefit was the new hazardous
materials ordinance written? is it to protect the public from continued industrial
accidents, or was it to shield the industry from public scrutiny? -
For-those of us whose families are threatened by industrial fires and explosions
and whose houses lie in the path of toxic releases, these are crucial questions. We
- believe we are entitled to•a government of disinterested integrity. We ask your help
in resolving this matter and-in restoring confidence in our public processes.
Very trulyy ours,

Dear Mr. Bragdon:
ORDINANCE NO. 96-20;
UNOCAL SELENIUM REMOVAL PROJECT
Unocal is undertaking a project to install facilities to remove selenium from its waste water
discharge. Because the project involves the handling of hazardous waste, Unocal has reviewed
the above Ordinance for applicability to the project. Unocal has determined that the project
requires neither an application for a permit nor an application for determination of exemption or
noncoverage because the project score is under 69, and when compared with Unocal's three year
hazardous waste baseline, does not increase the amount of hazardous waste handled at the
Refinery (84-63.802).
However, because the Ordinance 96-20 is brand new and no one has any experience with its
scoring methodology, we have attached to this letter materials, including our scoring of the
project upon which we based our determination. Unocal requests that your department review
these materials for the purpose of confirming our determination of nonapplication. While this
letter and the enclosures are not an application under the ordinance, we have enclosed a filing fee
in the amount of$140.00 because we realize that the County staff will have to review Unocal's
scoring of the project in order to accommodate our request for confirmation of our determination
of nonapplication.

In addition, we have enclosed for your information an analysis indicating that the project is
exempt from the ordinance because it is a project that is being undertaken solely to comply with
an order of the Regional Water Quality Control Board for the San Francisco Bey Region(Section
_ 84-63.604 (a)). As we understand the new ordinance, if you concur with our determination of
nonapplicability under Section 84-63.802, no determination under the exemption provisions of
Section 84-63.604 (a) will be required.
We will be happy to meet with you and your staff to discuss this matter and the enclosures at your

;1 1.0 Introduction
This evaluation has been conducted to determine whether Unocal's planned selenium
reduction project to be constructed at its San Francisco Refinery (SFR) will require: (1)
d an application for an exemption; (2) an application for non-coverage; and (3) a land use
permit under Contra Costa County's newly adopted land use ordinance (Ordinance No.
96-20, adopted June 25, 1996).
- 2.0 Background
In February 1991, the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)
issued an order to six Bay Area refineries limiting selenium discharge to 50 parts per
billion (ppb). For SFR, this 50 ppb standard equals a mass emission rate of 0.85
pounds per day. The order requires SFR to meet the 50 ppb daily maximum limit and
the 0.85 pound per day annual rolling average mass emission rate on or before July 31,
1998.
3.0 Project Description
Unocal plans to use ion exchange technology to meet the 50 ppb selenium discharge
limit. The following describes the process.
The sour water stripper effluents are combined in a feed/surge tank. The combined
water flows through a clarifier and a garnet/anthracite filter to reduce the water's oil
and solid content. This water then flows through two ion exchange resin beds arranged
in series. When the first bed becomes loaded with selenium, a spare column will be
put into service and the loaded column will be taken off-line for regeneration. A fourth
column is on stand-by as a spare.
A salt solution regenerates the loaded bed by removing the selenium from the resin.
The selenium in the selenium-rich regenerant is then precipitated in a series of stages
and ultimately de-watered and sent off-site for metals recovery and/or disposal. The
selenium-lean regenerant is then reused to regenerate the next bed of selenium-loaded
resin. Refer to Figure 1 for a simplified process flow diagram.
Y,
7 4.0 Baseline Determination
_a
1995 calendar data has been used to prepare the facility's baseline. This is the most
recent time period for which twelve months of data are available.
Facility torage Baseline
The facility storage baseline has been developed primarily from SFR's AB 2185
Business Plan. In so doing, we are using information consistent with previous reports
to the county.
Table 1 summarizes the list of hazardous materials and wastes stored at SFR in 1995.
w Amounts given for each material are in pounds and represent the maximum amount of
material or waste stored at any one time during the year. Additionally, each material
and waste has been assigned and summarized in this table to a DOT hazard category
pursuant to Contra Costa County Land Use #96-20, Article 84-63.1016.
The amounts, given as the ma dmum tons stored at any time, (ordinance section 84-
63.430) are approximately 81"i tons of category A materials and wastes, 543000 tons
for category B materials and wastes, and 584000 tons for category C materials and
wastes. In developing these baseline totals, we have excluded quantities of material
stored in containers less than 42 gallons.

Transportation Baseline
To prepare the transportation baseline, we have at this time chosen to include only
those materials transported out of the facility by truck. Truck transportation is the
method by which all of the regulated materials are transported for the Selenium
_.. Removal Project. Data for materials transported out of the facility are regularly
tabulated and easily available. For the sake of this evaluation, we did not include the
wi-'e variety of materiz's regularly purchased and transported in since:
' 1. The size of the truck transportation baseline compiled as described is already very
large compared to the amounts transported for the Selenium Removal Project, and;
2. Data on purchased materials by transportation method would be very time
consuming to assemble and would not change the calculated hazard score for the
Selenium Removal Project.
7
Whereas a small amount of Category A material is generated and stored as a result of
m, the Selenium Reduction Project, only Category B and C p,°-eject-related matdrials are
w transported into SFR and only Category C project-related wastes are transported from
SFR. As such, the following transportation summary tables address Category B and C
materials and wastes.
The amounts of hazardous materials and wastes transported by truck into or from SFR
in 1995 are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. As shown, approximately 38,700 tons of
Category B materials and 12,800 tons of Category C materials were transported in the
1995 baseline period.

5.0 Project Determination
The following project determination describes a range of project risk scores for the
Selenium Reduction Project pursuant to the Contra Costa County Land Use Ordinance
i #96-20, Article 84-63.10.
Selenium Removal Project Storage Amounts
Project storage amounts have been calculated based upon the entire estimated storage
volume including storage tanks, process equipment, and piping. It should be noted that
detailed design of the project has not been completed, and as a result, final constructed
1
volumes may change slightly.
Project materials and wastes have been tabulated to include purchased reagents and
metals-containing materials and wastes. As shown in Table 4, purchased reagents- are
listed according to their DOT classification found in 40 CFR Section 172.101.
However, the assignment of DOT classifications in Table 4 to the regenerant solutions
and project wastes has resulted from thorough review and evaluation by an in-house
wl toxicologist and substantiated by independent experts. Refer to Appendix A for
toxicological report.
All project metal-containing solutions and solid waste streams have been classified to a
hazard category pursuant to Contra Costa County Land Use #96-20, Article 84-
63.1016. All but one have been assigned Category C. An intermediate waste stream
(Stream #26 in toxicological report) was assigned to Category A, because of its
potential to be classified as a DOT poison. Total storage of Category A material is
0.12 tons.
-.1 Category B materials are the following purchased reagents used in the process: sodium
hydroxide solution and sodium sulfide solution. Total storage of these Category B
materials is 47 tons.
.:i Category C materials are the following purchased reagent, regenerant solutions, and
wastes: Copper Chloride, the sludge from the regenerant recovery, and the recycled
�T? regenerant. The recycled regenerant is listed in total, since the toxicology evaluation
-- showed that the LD50 was greater than the constituent concentrations at all points in the
process. Total amount of Category C material stored is approximately 600 tons.
Other materials used in the process are not DOT regulated and as such have not been
assigned to a hazard category.
- 16 -
A
Selenium R moval Process Transportation Amounts
-� The development of transportation amounts for the Selenium Removal Project was
based upon the nominal output from SFR's sour water strippers that feed the Selenium
Reduction Project.
T- ble 5 summarizes Droject materi�.ls and wastes by hazard category that will be
transported either into or out of SFR as a result of the project. As shown, 198 tons per
"' year of Category B materials and wastes, and 203 tons per year of Category C
materials and wastes are anticipated. When compared to the transportation baseline
previously discussed, the changes in transportation are 0.51 and 1.59 per cent,
respectively for Categories B and C. Since there is no Category A materials or wastes
' transported either into or out of SFR as a result of this project, the percent change is
zero.

6.0 Assessment of Risk Elements
This section discusses the assignment of individual risk elements for calculation of the
project hazard score, referring to the appropriate tables in Contra Costa County
Ordinance No. 96-20.
• Community Risk Element
_ For the sake of completeness, project hazard scores evaluating two community risk
elements will be evaluated. The closest receptor is an area of land designated as
residential located approximately 900 feet from the nearest boundary of the
Selenium Removal Project. Referring to Article 84-63.1004 of the ordinance,
under the table for Community Risk. (C) and section labeled "Type of Receptor",
the hazard element for residential property is 5. The Tiny Tot Day Care and
Nursery School in Bayo Vista is located approximately 1600 feet from the nearest
boundary of the Selenium Reduction Project. The Community Risk hazard element
for that location is 7.
• Per Cent Cha=ige in Storage
For Category A materials and wastes, the per cent increase in storage is expressed
as:
(0.12/835)x100
which equals 0.014 per cent. Referring to the table in the ordinance labeled Pa
Cent Change (P), the hazard score for this element is between 0 and 1%, yielding a
score of zero.
_.y
For Category B materials and wastes, the per cent increase in storage is expressed
as:
(47/543,000)x 100
which equals 0.0087 per cent. Referring to the table in the ordinance labeled Pfr
Cent Change (P), the hazard score for this element is between 0 and 1%, yielding a
score of zero.
For category C materials and wastes, the per cent increase in storage is expressed
` as:
(600/583,000)x100
which equals 0.103 per cent. This change is also less than I%, giving a score of
zero.
- 20 -
i
J
• Hazard Categories
q
As discussed above, the Selenium Removal Project involves Category A, Category
B, and Category C materials and wastes. From the table labeled Hazard Category
of Material (H) in the ordinance, the scores for these categories are 5, 3 and 1
respectively.
• Distance
-� The nearest distances to receptors, as previously discussed, are 900 feet to the
residentially zoned property and 1600 feet to the nearest sensitive receptor. From
the table in the ordinance labeled Community Risk. Distance to Receptor (D), the
scores for these distances are 25 and 23, respectively.
• Amounts of Material or Waste Stored
The amounts of material and wastes stored are 0.12 tons, 47 tons, and 600 tons,
respectively for Categories A, B, and C materials. From the table in the ordinance
labeled FACILITY RISK: SIZE OF PROJECT. Total Amount of ghange. tons
wJ
the scores for these amounts are 2, 16 and 21, respectively.
• Project Hazard Score Calculations
Using the data and supporting calculations described above, project hazard scores
have been developed as shown in Table 6. Six cases have been analyzed to cover
the situations that will yield the highest project risk scores. With respect to the
residential receptor, Examples 1, 3, and 5 show that the project hazard score for
Category A materials is 53, Category B materials is 57, and Category C materials
is 52.
-- Examining the potential concern for sensitive receptors which are further away, the
project hazard scores for Category A, Category B, and Category C materials are
61, 61, and 52, respectively.

7.0 Non-Coverage
As shown above for all six cases analyzed, no score exceeds 69. Furthermore, the
Selenium Reduction Project does not increase the total hazardous materials and wastes
as compared to baseline for the past three years. The approximate 650 ton increase in
managed materials and wastes that results from the Selenium Reduction Project is
easily off-set by SFR's approximate 5000 ton reduction in spent stretford solution over
the past three years.

See Appendix B.
9.0 Conclusions
• All project hazard score calculations yielded scores of 61 or below.
• The Selenium Reduction Project will not cause an increase in the handling of
7'J hazardous materials or hazardous wastes as compared to SFR's three-year baseline.
• No land use permit, or application for exemption, or determination for non-
coverage required (Contra Costa County Land Use Ordinance 96-20, Article 84-
63.802.
