Hi everyone,
Apologies in advance for cross-posting but I feel you are all familiar with the
Rodeo refinery and most live in its environ and as such are also stakeholders
in this. I'm forwarding this as a matter of FYI only, as I'm sure we all have
our individual opinions of the pros and cons of the refinery.
As for me though, one of the segments I really hate riding through is the Rodeo
refinery and I always joke that passing through it is your daily dose of
toxins. Hope to ride with you guys tomorrow for our turkey ride.
Cheers!

| Expanding oil refineries in the Bay Area is simply all risk and no reward for
our communities.
Take a moment to say NO to Phillips 66's Rodeo expansion plan.
Toxic smoke from the 2012 Richmond refinery fire

Dear Emmanuel,
We've all seen the massive oil refinery complexes, pumping smoke and chemicals
into the air we breathe. We've all seen the dangerous oil trains that carry
their explosive cargo through the Bay Area. We all remember the 2012 Richmond
refinery fire that forced more than 15,000 people to seek medical treatment.
Now Phillips 66 wants to construct six huge propane storage tanks and two new
rail spurs to ship propane and butane -- abundant components of dirty tar sands
and Bakken crude -- out of their Rodeo refinery.
What this would mean for us is more trains, more eyesores, more pollution and
more danger. Luckily, we have a chance to stop this fossil fuel expansion.
Tell the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors that this project can't be approved
without a thorough and comprehensive environmental and safety assessment.
Last year, the Board of Supervisors released a draft Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) that was lacking in many ways, including its assessment of the
safety risks, air and water pollution risks, and the combined impact of a
related proposal to expand the Phillips 66 Santa Maria refinery.
Due to these inadequacies, the EIR has been appealed, and now we have a chance
to make sure the Board of Supervisors gets it right. This is key to protecting
our Bay Area communities from the out-of-control expansion of fossil fuel
refineries and explosive oil trains.
Take action now to voice your opposition to this proposal that will just lead
to more pollution, more climate change and more risks for our communities.
Thank you for stepping up,
Jess Dervin-Ackerman
