California’s Crude Oil Supply in 2012 Alaska overseas California - offshore California - inland tanker pipeline 52% 30% 13% 5% Where crude comes from How crude gets here

Projected Crude-by-Rail Deliveries to California Direct by rail-to-refinery or rail-to-pipeline-to-refinery Valero (Benecia) 25.6 Valero (Wilmington) 21.9 Tesoro (Martinez) 2.0 Plains (Bakersfield) 25.6 Alon (Bakersfield) 54.8 Kern (Bakersfield) unknown Phillips 66 (Santa Maria) 13.5 TOTAL 143 million bbls/yr ~6 trains/day Rail-to-barge via Portland/Vancouver area Capacity will be ~200 million bbls/yr, some of which will be shipped to California via barge Total projected crude-by-rail deliveries to California by 2016 100 to 200 million bbls/yr (Note: 150 million bbls/yr = 25% of Calif’s crude oil supply) 10

CA Senate Bill 861 Overview (a.k.a. the “statewide program”) Extends the current 6.5 cent fee to inland and imported crude oil entering CA refineries Creates a single statewide program to cover spills of oil or oil products from all sources in marine and inland waters Applies industry contingency plan, drill, and financial responsibility requirements statewide Stabilizes funding for OWCN and expand the OWCN to inland areas Makes OSPR’s spill response trust fund accessible for responses to all oil spills. Removes 42 gallon threshold for spill response
23
California’s Oil Supply and Use Where crude comes from How crude gets here Where crude is processed Where product goes Alaska overseas Bakken/North Dakota California - offshore California - inland tanker pipeline rail refineries 100% 51% fee collection points: Refineries and marine terminals 36% 28% 7% 25% 4%

OSPR Implementation Teams Hire new positions Regulations/Contingency plans/Drills Outreach/Communication/Agency Coordination Training Geographic response plans Wildlife operations Field Response Teams (interim and long term) Spill Communication and Data Unit
