"content": "\u003cp>Local air regulators have opened a new investigation into Valero's Benicia refinery after another malfunction at the facility sent black smoke into the air three times over the weekend. The flaring comes close to a month after the refinery experienced its first full outage in decades, resulting in toxic gases being released into the atmosphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the refinery's units had \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CityBenicia/posts/1449022338493145\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">some sort of release\u003c/a> on Sunday afternoon, according to Benicia city officials, as the facility continues to struggle to fully restart its operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the incident in early May, there were no shelter-in-place orders, evacuations and hospitalizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"yGKTZuUIXBozwEhVUmmQCJW0b2Nm1S2M\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But state officials normally notified of similar refinery problems were not told about the latest incident.

You can see the Valero outage notifications \u003ca href=\"https://w3.calema.ca.gov/operational/malhaz.nsf/f1841a103c102734882563e200760c4a/c772dcd437057a3488258125007de8ec?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,valero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, state air regulators were not kept in the loop either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have nothing new, and nothing new was reported to Cal OES over the weekend,\" said David Clegern, a spokesman for the California Air Resources Board, which has had air monitors in place near the refinery since the outage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/10/after-valero-refinery-outage-three-probes-and-rising-gas-prices/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">under investigation\u003c/a> by a third party hired by PG&E, the air district, California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) and Solano County's Department of Resource Management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county is investigating \u003ca href=\"http://claycord.com/2017/05/18/employees-frustrated-after-oil-based-substance-lands-on-vehicles-businesses-near-valero-refinery/comment-page-1/#comment-1023805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">another incident\u003c/a> that may be tied to the aftermath of the outage. On May 15, several people who work at MRC Global, a company on Bayshore Road not too far away the refinery, found an \"oil-based\" substance on their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A hazardous materials specialist conducted tests on the vehicles, according to Terry Schmidtbauer, director of Solano County's Department of Resource Management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City and county officials asked Valero to take the vehicles to a car-wash, Schmidtbauer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The electricity failure at the refinery and resulting safety concerns have prompted a push for Benicia to develop an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/23/valero-outage-prompts-benicia-to-consider-industrial-safety-ordinance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">industrial safety ordinance\u003c/a> similar to one that governs refineries in Contra Costa County.

Bigger whales were simply more efficient at eating the dense pockets of krill, and they beat out their smaller cousins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These whales use filters to feed on the tiny krill. Known as baleens, they include the largest whale on Earth — the blue whale. The baleen filter looks like bristles of a comb and is made up of keratin — the same stuff in our fingernails. To eat, the whale opens its mouth and takes in a huge gulp of water. Then it spits the water back out, and food like krill are caught in the baleen filter.

The researchers think changes in climate led to increased runoff and more nutrients pouring into the coasts. At the same time, there was an increase in ocean \u003ca href=\"http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/upwelling.html\">upwelling\u003c/a>, which occurs when wind pushes surface waters offshore and causes deeper ocean waters underneath surface waters to replace it. Those deep waters are often full of nutrients and food for the whales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The combination of the ice ages and more upwelling resulted in dense patches of food in the ocean — setting the stage for massive whales to win out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11475453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11475453\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-800x313.jpg\" alt='During upwelling, wind-displaced surface waters are replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water that \"wells up\" from below.' width=\"800\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-800x313.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-160x63.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-240x94.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-375x147.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-520x204.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">During upwelling, wind-displaced surface waters are replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water that \"wells up\" from below. \u003ccite>(NOAA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"As animals are getting bigger, they're getting much more efficient. So for every gulp, they're getting tremendous amounts of energy\" Goldbogen says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think about it this way: It takes a lot of energy for a giant whale to open its giant mouth. If a lot of food is packed into a small space, those whales can swallow it up in one big gulp and it's worth all the energy it takes. But if the food is spread out and the whales have to swim around opening and closing their mouths a lot — then it's not great to be a big ol' whale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So big whales are more efficient at eating the dense patches of food, while smaller whales might be more suited to eating food dispersed throughout the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in the ocean also allowed whales to get really big, really fast. The researchers \u003ca href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2017.0546\">reported\u003c/a> in the journal \u003cem>Royal Society B \u003c/em>on Tuesday that the whales increased in body mass from 10 tons to 100 tons in just a few million years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"CfS5eSxdylyQtPKjztG9pbptFui3yNrB\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it's hard to draw a direct connection between whale size and ocean dynamics 3 million years ago, other studies support the hypothesis. \"There are cases where food limitation or food production can basically control body size changes on very short time scales,\" Goldbogen says, referring to a 2013 study published in the \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/70/6/1273/637166/Evidence-for-density-dependent-changes-in-body\">ICES Journal of Marine Science\u003c/a>. Therefore, \"the inference here is that if you have enough food available and very, very efficient animals, that perhaps they can evolve larger and larger body sizes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldbogen is more than a little excited to be studying these ocean giants. \"We're totally living in a time of giants. Unlike no other time in Earth's history\" he says. \"We have a unique opportunity to study how the largest animals of all time function in these different ecosystems, and that's a lot of fun.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldbogen thinks the next question is: \"Are whales still getting bigger? If we fast-forward a few million years into the future if food is not limiting, can they evolve even greater body sizes?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll have to wait to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Those deep waters are often full of nutrients and food for the whales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The combination of the ice ages and more upwelling resulted in dense patches of food in the ocean — setting the stage for massive whales to win out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11475453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11475453\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-800x313.jpg\" alt='During upwelling, wind-displaced surface waters are replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water that \"wells up\" from below.' width=\"800\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-800x313.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-160x63.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-240x94.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-375x147.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/upwelling_custom-4876c5f79aa32af72ea50670b7ad192f33be9115-520x204.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">During upwelling, wind-displaced surface waters are replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water that \"wells up\" from below. \u003ccite>(NOAA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"As animals are getting bigger, they're getting much more efficient. So for every gulp, they're getting tremendous amounts of energy\" Goldbogen says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think about it this way: It takes a lot of energy for a giant whale to open its giant mouth. If a lot of food is packed into a small space, those whales can swallow it up in one big gulp and it's worth all the energy it takes. But if the food is spread out and the whales have to swim around opening and closing their mouths a lot — then it's not great to be a big ol' whale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So big whales are more efficient at eating the dense patches of food, while smaller whales might be more suited to eating food dispersed throughout the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in the ocean also allowed whales to get really big, really fast. The researchers \u003ca href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2017.0546\">reported\u003c/a> in the journal \u003cem>Royal Society B \u003c/em>on Tuesday that the whales increased in body mass from 10 tons to 100 tons in just a few million years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it's hard to draw a direct connection between whale size and ocean dynamics 3 million years ago, other studies support the hypothesis. \"There are cases where food limitation or food production can basically control body size changes on very short time scales,\" Goldbogen says, referring to a 2013 study published in the \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/70/6/1273/637166/Evidence-for-density-dependent-changes-in-body\">ICES Journal of Marine Science\u003c/a>. Therefore, \"the inference here is that if you have enough food available and very, very efficient animals, that perhaps they can evolve larger and larger body sizes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldbogen is more than a little excited to be studying these ocean giants. \"We're totally living in a time of giants. Unlike no other time in Earth's history\" he says. \"We have a unique opportunity to study how the largest animals of all time function in these different ecosystems, and that's a lot of fun.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldbogen thinks the next question is: \"Are whales still getting bigger? If we fast-forward a few million years into the future if food is not limiting, can they evolve even greater body sizes?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll have to wait to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.
