UPDATE ON CRUDE BY RAIL ISSUES Tony Semenza June 26, 2014

CRUDE BY RAIL IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Currently one crude train every 7-10 days from Stockton to Richmond Transported over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Line Railroad required to notify the state regarding shipments by rail The state is required to inform local emergency responders and planners

Crude by rail shipments in California expected to exceed 150 million barrels a year by the end of 2016 None of the Contra Costa refineries (Chevron, Phillips 66, Shell and Tesoro) receive any crude by rail

LEADING CAUSES FOR DERAILMENT Condition of track bed and rails Speed of trains Wheel bearing failures Human errors

VOLUNTARY EFFORTS TO INCREASE SAFETY OF CRUDE BY RAIL Increased track inspections Braking systems Use of rail traffic routing technology Lower speeds Community relations Increased track side safety technology Increased emergency response training Emergency response capability planning

ADDITIONAL ISSUES Tank car standards Proper shipping classifications

BAKKEN CRUDE OIL CHARACTERISTICS Low flash point Higher vapor pressure

OTHER DOCUMENTS OF INTEREST June 10, 2014 publication of Oil by Rail Safety in California Preliminary findings and recommendations Prepared by the Interagency Rail Safety Working Group
