SUBJECT: Investigation of potential applications for the Coastal Corporation's wharf In San
Pablo Bay
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. REFER the matter of investigating possible future applications for the now-
defunct Coastal Corporation wharf near Point Pinole to the Fish and Wildlife
Committee.
2. REQUEST that the Fish and Wildlife Committee report back to the Board of
Supervisors by March 23, 1999 on the results of their investigation, along with
any recommendations.
BACKGROUND
The Coastal Corporation, parent company to Pacific Refining Company, has closed
its petroleum-refining complex in Hercules. The closed complex includes a wharf
located at the edge of the deep-water channel in San Pablo Bay approximately 1
mile from Point Pinole and .8 miles from the community of Rodeo. The wharf facility
was constructed and operated under a lease agreement with the State Lands
Commission.
Presently, the Coastal Corporation is exploring the possibility of transferring its
interest in the wharf to an organization that could put the facility to use. If no suitable
new lessee can be found, the State Lands Commission will require the wharf facility
to be removed.
This is a unique facility, which once removed, may be difficult or impossible to
replace.
