Shell Oil Company completed the required study for the Alkylate Storage System. This information was evaluated by the Risk Management and Prevention Program Team of the Health Services Department . Their review included a detailed examination of the hazard analyses and off-site consequences as well as scrutiny of all the programs or aspects of the Company (e.g. , operating procedures, preventive maintenance programs and operator training) which are designed to prevent or mitigate accidents or process anomalies . The review included document assessments, management and operations personnel interviews and inspection of the unit to verify that it conforms to the design presented. The Health Services Department concluded that the Shell Hazard and Operability Study/Accident Consequence Analysis adequately identifies process hazards and that no additional mitigation should be required. The Health Services Department will conduct follow-up field inspections to ensure that construction conforms to the design specified, and that all measures identified have been followed.

SUBJECT: CONSENT ITEM FOR SHELL REFINERY CLEAN FUELS PROJECT CONDITION ##22, FOR THE ALKYLATE STORAGE SYSTEM Executive Summar The Contra Costa County Health Services Department (CCCHSD) Hazardous Materials Risk Management and Prevention Program team has completed the Clean Fuels Project review for the Alkylate Storage System. Shell plans to start-up this system during the week of November 6, 1995. Shell submitted a summary of the Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) to you and CCCHSD on July 27, 1995. Process Description: This system provides alkylate storage and pumping facilities for Alkylation Unit production as well as imported alkylate. (Alkylate is a high octane gasoline blending component.) An additional (third) vapor recovery compressor has been provided to handle any additional vapor load for the Vine Hill Vapor Recovery System. CCCHSD Findings: My staff has performed a detailed line-by-line examination of the Alkylate Storage System HAZOP study that included our reviewing the design of safety systems as well as operational and maintenance issues. Additionally, my staff has field checked the unit to verify that it conforms to the design presented in the HAZOP. 4333 Pacheco Boulevard • Martinez, California 94553 (5.1 Q) 646-2286. We find that the Shell HAZOP adequately identifies process hazards and that no mitigations other than those identified by Shell are required. My staff will perform a follow up review, consistent with Condition #23 of the Land Use Permit, to ensure that all mitigations identified have been implemented. Conclusion: We recommend approval of the HAZOP study for the Alkylate Storage System.
