Chevron was fined $170,000 for the incidents, and the EPA's criminal enforcement unit is investigating, the Chron said. From the article...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"They were routing gas through that pipe to the flare that they were not monitoring,\" said Jack Broadbent, executive director of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, whose inspectors uncovered what Chevron was doing and ordered the bypass pipe removed...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal criminal investigators are trying to determine who at Chevron was aware of the bypass pipe and whether the company used it intentionally to deceive air-pollution regulators. Chevron says its use was inadvertent and that it estimates that the amount of released sulfur dioxide - one of the major components of flaring gas pollution - was minimal. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/Criminal-investigation-at-Chevron-refinery-3886927.php\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here is today's statement from Chevron:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Sunday’s San Francisco Chronicle article incorrectly alleges that Chevron U.S.A. Inc. deliberately “fashioned a pipe inside its refinery that routed hydrocarbon gases around monitoring equipment” to flare hydrocarbons without reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pipe at issue is an equalization line and is part of a safety system to control pressure build-up that was in place before implementation of the 2003 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) flare-monitoring regulation. When Chevron installed six flow meters to comply with the regulation, we did not recognize the need for a meter on this line and we advised BAAQMD of this issue three years ago and remedied it then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has spent millions of dollars to reduce SO2 emissions caused by flaring by over 85%, and we are proud of this effort. We estimate that unmetered emissions from 2004-2009 that your article discussed were approximately 200 pounds of SO2—approximately 0.03% of all SO2 emissions caused by flaring in these years. This amount is so small that even if it were metered, a causal report would not be required by BAAQMD, and it presented no public health risk. Given Chevron’s efforts to manage flaring, and that all of our flaring is videotaped and available for regulatory review, there is no reason that the company would have acted as your article suggests, and we are concerned that you ignored these facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will continue to cooperate with the government’s investigation and demonstrate our commitment to protecting people and the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sincerely yours,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nigel Hearne\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>General Manager, Richmond Refinery\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Chevron's statement says it was the company itself that brought the matter to the attention of BAAQMD. That's not what a BAAQMD official says in the Chron report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Wayne Kino, an enforcement manager for the air-quality district, said two inspectors with the agency became suspicious Aug. 17, 2009, when they saw steam from a flare coming from a high-pressure, high-temperature hydrocracking complex in Richmond called the Isomax unit, where 62,000 barrels of oil a day are converted into gasoline and jet fuel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspectors asked to see Chevron's pollution-monitoring equipment, and discovered \"it wasn't recording anything,\" Kino said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update\u003c/em>: KQED's Cy Musiker spoke to Wayne Kino, the BAAQMD manager cited in the Chronicle article. Kino confirmed that the pipe in question pre-dated the regulations that required monitoring of emissions. \"Prior to 2004, any flow through that pipe [would have been] legal. After our rule [requiring monitoring of emissions] in 2004, they should have put monitors on it or eliminated that line given the use.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not indicate that Chevron brought the violation to the agency's attention, as Chevron claims in its statement.

Chevron was fined $170,000 for the incidents, and the EPA's criminal enforcement unit is investigating, the Chron said. From the article...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"They were routing gas through that pipe to the flare that they were not monitoring,\" said Jack Broadbent, executive director of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, whose inspectors uncovered what Chevron was doing and ordered the bypass pipe removed...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal criminal investigators are trying to determine who at Chevron was aware of the bypass pipe and whether the company used it intentionally to deceive air-pollution regulators. Chevron says its use was inadvertent and that it estimates that the amount of released sulfur dioxide - one of the major components of flaring gas pollution - was minimal. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/Criminal-investigation-at-Chevron-refinery-3886927.php\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here is today's statement from Chevron:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Sunday’s San Francisco Chronicle article incorrectly alleges that Chevron U.S.A. Inc. deliberately “fashioned a pipe inside its refinery that routed hydrocarbon gases around monitoring equipment” to flare hydrocarbons without reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pipe at issue is an equalization line and is part of a safety system to control pressure build-up that was in place before implementation of the 2003 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) flare-monitoring regulation. When Chevron installed six flow meters to comply with the regulation, we did not recognize the need for a meter on this line and we advised BAAQMD of this issue three years ago and remedied it then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has spent millions of dollars to reduce SO2 emissions caused by flaring by over 85%, and we are proud of this effort. We estimate that unmetered emissions from 2004-2009 that your article discussed were approximately 200 pounds of SO2—approximately 0.03% of all SO2 emissions caused by flaring in these years. This amount is so small that even if it were metered, a causal report would not be required by BAAQMD, and it presented no public health risk. Given Chevron’s efforts to manage flaring, and that all of our flaring is videotaped and available for regulatory review, there is no reason that the company would have acted as your article suggests, and we are concerned that you ignored these facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will continue to cooperate with the government’s investigation and demonstrate our commitment to protecting people and the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sincerely yours,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nigel Hearne\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>General Manager, Richmond Refinery\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Chevron's statement says it was the company itself that brought the matter to the attention of BAAQMD. That's not what a BAAQMD official says in the Chron report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Wayne Kino, an enforcement manager for the air-quality district, said two inspectors with the agency became suspicious Aug. 17, 2009, when they saw steam from a flare coming from a high-pressure, high-temperature hydrocracking complex in Richmond called the Isomax unit, where 62,000 barrels of oil a day are converted into gasoline and jet fuel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspectors asked to see Chevron's pollution-monitoring equipment, and discovered \"it wasn't recording anything,\" Kino said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update\u003c/em>: KQED's Cy Musiker spoke to Wayne Kino, the BAAQMD manager cited in the Chronicle article. Kino confirmed that the pipe in question pre-dated the regulations that required monitoring of emissions. \"Prior to 2004, any flow through that pipe [would have been] legal. After our rule [requiring monitoring of emissions] in 2004, they should have put monitors on it or eliminated that line given the use.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The monitors are designed to detect chemicals such as metals, volatile organic compounds, hydrogen sulfide and a range of particulates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond City Manager Bill Lindsay said Chevron has yet to produce a detailed plan for the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t received a comprehensive work plan from Chevron on who is going to monitor it, the specific locations for the monitors, how the data would be reported and the specific technology they will use,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lindsay said he now regrets not including a deadline for Chevron in the 2010 agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although there was no installation schedule as part of the 2-year-old agreement, Comey, the Chevron spokesman, said the company has been working with neighborhood groups to put a set timeline in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey said neighborhood groups in Point Richmond and Atchison Village approved a timetable that calls for the equipment to be installed in early 2013. The neighborhood group in North Richmond is due to consider that plan at a meeting next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Community Air Monitoring program that was agreed to in 2010 by Chevron and the City of Richmond is in the process of being implemented and is continuing to progress on schedule as we work with Neighborhood Councils in North Richmond, Atchison Village and Point Richmond,” he wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “Once we have completed working with these local groups to ensure they are confident in the program, we will submit a revised work plan to the City of Richmond Planning Department for approval.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Parker, a member of the Point Richmond Neighborhood Council, said the monitors Chevron agreed to install would have given residents more protections from harmful pollutants at the time of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We deserve more information, and there should be more monitoring,” said Parker, who is the editor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.richmondprogressivealliance.net/\">www.richmondprogressivealliance.net\u003c/a>, the website of a volunteer group in Richmond that supports progressive political causes. “But the focus should also be on prevention and making the refineries safer. Richmond was becoming a jewel in the Bay Area; this explosion has set that way back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gioia said the agreement between Richmond and Chevron was flawed in part because it left out local health officials and the air quality district, leaving the air monitoring to an independent contractor hired by Chevron. Lindsay defended the arrangement, saying an outside contractor would be impartial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery fire is under investigation by a number of regulators, including the U.S. Chemical Safety Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blaze has belatedly prompted the city to expedite the Chevron monitoring program. Once the city approves a plan, the company will have 90 days to get the monitors operating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In light of this incident,” Lindsay said, “it has hastened the process.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
