1. Oppose Phillips 66 Refinery Expansion and Oil Trains in San Jose 1

2. Oil-Train Facts Phillips 66 is proposing to expand their Santa Maria refinery The decision rests solely with the San Luis Obispo Planning Commission Once the refinery is built oil-trains will run – local and state governments are powerless The oil-trains will be one-mile long and powered by three Diesel engines The oil-trains will contain dangerously flammable and chemically liquefied Alberta tar sands The oil-trains leak and will off-gas health-endangering carcinogens An oil-train leak, explosion and fire is an environmental disaster! There will be 520 oil-trains per year – 260 running south and 260 running north Oil-trains will pass within one-mile of 5.5 million Californians – 195,000 who live in San Jose Oil-trains fires are difficult to extinguish and San Jose doesn’t have the HazMat or fire department resources Not one drop will end up in America! How will this danger affect the growth of downtown?

3. Oil-Train Growth In Just Six Years 2008 2013 <10,000 Oil Train Cars >400,000 Oil Train Cars DOT says that there will be at least 10 major oil-train accidents per year!!!! Oil trains spilled more crude oil in 2013 than in the previous 30-years combined

4. DOT-111 Weaknesses Even the newer CPC-1232 tank cars have broken open and exploded in recent accidents 12 California State Senators wrote to the DOT to upgrade both DOT-111 and CPC-1232

Just imagine had this of been one of the oil trains. What would have happened to Japantown?” - Coucilman Raul Peralez
